Saint Francis Ministries will host National Adoption Day events on November 19th, at Potter County Courthouse 350 SE 6th Ave. in Amarillo, Texas, and November 20th, at Lubbock Impact 2707 34th Street in Lubbock Texas. Beginning at 9 a.m., the National Adoption Day Proclamation will be read, and the first adoption will occur. The Honorable Judge Tatiana Frausto, Judge Les Hatch, and Judge Philip Hays will preside.
President Bill Clinton proclaimed the first National Adoption Month in 1995, and it has been celebrated every year since.
This year’s National Adoption Day theme is “Mission Adoption: Houston we have a Family.” Families, friends, and supporters are invited to celebrate the love and joy that adoption brings to families. The event will feature activities, games, and opportunities to connect with other community members. National Adoption Day offers an excellent opportunity to celebrate the bonds created through adoption while enjoying time with family and friends. At least 24 children and 19 families are scheduled to receive the gift of adoption this year.
Region 1 celebrates National Adoption Day in Lubbock the Friday before Thanksgiving and in Amarillo the Thursday before Thanksgiving. Children adopted on National Adoption Day can look forward to a holiday season spent with their new families.
