Over 24,000 waiting orphans seek loving forever families.
Presidential Proclamation -- National Adoption Month, 2012
NATIONAL ADOPTION MONTH, 2012
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
As a Nation that believes all children deserve the chance to
reach their full potential, we have a fundamental responsibility
to ensure each of them grows up knowing the love and protection
of a permanent family. During National Adoption Month, we give
voice to children who are still waiting for that opportunity,
celebrate the bond that unites adoptive parents with their sons
and daughters, and recommit to providing every child with the
care and security that will nurture their development and
well-being.
Later this month, many Americans will also mark National Adoption
Day by completing a foster care adoption and embracing a new
member of their family. Driven by reasons unique to their
households but united by the spirit of compassion that moves all
who choose to adopt, these parents will take up our country's
most important task -- the work of raising our sons and
daughters. As we celebrate the contributions of adoptive parents
across our Nation, let us also strive to eliminate discriminatory
barriers that would separate foster children from a loving
family. Adoptive families come in many forms, and it is essential
that all qualified adults have the opportunity to care for a
child in need.
My Administration remains committed to helping every child find a
loving home. We have partnered with faith-based and community
organizations across America to help connect children with
adoptive parents, and we continue to work with State, local, and
tribal governments to improve child outcomes; enhance safety,
permanency, and well-being; and support adoptive families. I was
proud to sign the Affordable Care Act and the International
Adoption Simplification Act, which have made it easier for
families to adopt, as well as the Child and Family Services
Improvement and Innovation Act, which will help reduce the length
of time young children are without families. We have built on
those efforts as part of the National Adoption Campaign, which
continues to bring adoption and foster care into our national
conversation.
Thousands of children living in America hope for the comfort and
safety of a loving family. This month, we pay tribute to the
dedicated professionals who help make those children's dreams a
reality, sharpen our resolve to find a permanent home for every
child, and celebrate the stories of all whose lives have been
touched by adoption.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States
of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby
proclaim November 2012 as National Adoption Month. I encourage
all Americans to observe this month by answering the call to find
a permanent and caring family for every child in need, and by
supporting the families who care for them.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of
November, in the year of our Lord two thousand twelve, and of the
Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and
thirty-seventh.
BARACK OBAMA
