Friday, November 30, 3 p.m., San Juan Superior Court
— from Jane Severin for Superior Court —
San Juan County Superior Court and Juvenile Court Services will host an adoption celebration on Friday, November 30, 2018, in celebration of National Adoption Month. The public and media are welcome to join the celebration.
The event begins at 3:00 p.m. in the San Juan County Superior Court, and will include speakers, refreshments, a family photo booth, and the opportunity to share personal stories and inspiration.
National Adoption Day was founded in 2000 by a coalition of national child welfare organizations hoping to raise awareness of the thousands of foster children available for adoption and awaiting permanent, “forever” families. In Washington, more than 2,000 children are waiting for permanent families. Nationally, more than 100,000 children in foster care are waiting to be adopted.
Please help us raise awareness of this important issue, and celebrate the gifts of family that transcend biological ties.
“I would like to extend a special invitation to the parents and children of adoptive families. Please join us and share your stories.” –Katie Loring, Superior Court Judge
