Washington, Oct 28 -

House Honors National Adoption Day
House Passes Brown-Waite’s Legislation Honoring National Adoption Day & Month

Washington D.C. – U.S. Congresswoman Ginny Brown-Waite (FL-05) released the following statement after the U.S. House of Representatives passed her resolution, H. Res. 831; Supporting the Goals and Ideals of National Adoption Day and National Adoption Month:

“As the mother of an adopted daughter, I know first hand the immense joy that an adopted child can bring to a family. I also recognize the sacrifices and important contributions of those who adopt and facilitate adoptions.  Not every parent who brings a child into the world has the financial or emotional stability to give that child the care they need and deserve. Fortunately, there are eager families throughout the country waiting with open arms to take that child in and give them all of the love and tools they need to grow and succeed in the world around them.

“It is important to recognize these families and the people and organizations that make adoptions in our country possible.  I applaud my colleagues in Congress for taking the time to give them the recognition that they deserve.”

November 2009 is National Adoption Month, and November 21, 2009, is National Adoption Day.
