Thanks for posting this article. National Adoption Day was this past Saturday, November 18th. In my area, the event was celebrated on Friday the 17th. A good friend of mine adopted two half-sisters whom she had fostered for over a year. The two courtrooms used for all of the adoptions were decorated in a ‘Wizard of Oz’ theme (”There’s no place like home!”) and there were tons of stuffed animals and balloons for the kids to take with them. There was also a Wizard of Oz-themed reception with lots of delicious treats. The Wizard of Oz characters even showed up at the reception and in the courthouse lobby for pictures with the families. My friend was granted permission to adopt a couple of months ago, but she wanted to wait until Adoption Day because she knew what a huge deal would be made about it. It really was special for all the families and friends.

I hope little Chris here finds a family soon. Poor kid.

Unfortunately children such as Chris have been bounced around from family to family due to mental or behavioral problems brought on by the parent or parents they were taken from.

I can't imagine a 10 year old just wanting to be loved by a family.........too sad.
