History and Origin of National Adoption Day
A variety of childcare and child adoption agencies and organizations sponsor and promote National Adoption Day.
It wasn’t until 2006 that this day was celebrated in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. We feel it is one of the more important special days in the entire calendar.
This day is described as a “National” day. We found no congressional records or presidential proclamation creating this day as a national day.
