November is Adoption Awareness Month throughout North America!

The ACC encourages everyone to raise awareness about adoption and there are many ways to go about this:

·         Inquire about local special events, workshops, information sessions and seminars in your area relating to adoption

·         Expand your knowledge and understanding of adoption. Read a book and search the internet for pertinent adoption-related information. Share your knowledge with your family and your friends.

·         Open a line of communication with someone who has been touched by adoption. Listen and learn about individual and personal experiences.

·         Send an editorial to your local newspaper to inform your community about adoption

·         Support efforts to improve policies and legislation that impacts the adoption community.

If you are aware of an adoption-related event in your area, please let us know. You may send your information to info@adoption.ca or info@canadaswaitingkids.ca

Happy Adoption Awareness Month from the Adoption Council of Canada!
