This resolution formally designates November 22, 2025, as National Adoption Day and the entire month of November 2025 as National Adoption Month . The primary goals are to promote national awareness of adoption, highlight the plight of children awaiting families, and celebrate the children and families who have been touched by adoption. It also aims to encourage all people in the United States to work towards ensuring safety, permanency, and well-being for every child. The Senate acknowledges that there are over 328,000 children in the U.S. foster care system, with approximately 70,000 having a permanency plan of adoption, and many face long waits or risk aging out without a permanent home. The resolution emphasizes that adoption provides crucial permanency and stability for children and that misperceptions about the process persist. By designating these observances, the Senate recognizes that every child deserves a permanent and loving family and encourages the public to consider adoption throughout the year.
