Davis (D-IL), co-chairs of the Congressional Coalition on Adoption (CCA), introduced a bipartisan resolution recognizing November as National Adoption Month, with November 22nd being named National Adoption Day.\n\n\u201cI am honored to introduce this resolution recognizing National Adoption Month and National Adoption Day as an important way to keep adoption a legislative priority,\u201d said Rep. Aderholt. \u201cBy promoting national awareness of adoption and encouraging all Americans to help ensure the safety, permanency, and well-being of every child, we reaffirm our national commitment to the importance of family. Uniting families is a cause that goes beyond party lines, and I remain committed to working in a bipartisan manner to address barriers to adoption, so every child experiences the blessing of a loving home.\u201d\n\n\u201cI am proud to co-lead this bipartisan resolution recognizing National Adoption Month and National Adoption Day as important opportunities to uplift adoption as a key pathway to permanency for children,\u201d said Rep. Davis. \u201cThese celebrations of children and families involved in adoption recognize that all children deserve a loving, \u201cforever family\u201d that will surround them with the joy, love, and support needed for them to grow and reach their full potential.\u201d\n\nAs the House co-chairs of CCA, Rep. Aderholt and Rep. Davis lead the bicameral, bipartisan caucus, which works to bring national awareness of adoption and the children awaiting families, improve the adoption process, and find homes for every child looking for a family.\n\nThe CCA was founded in 1985 and has since pioneered efforts in creating meaningful legislative change. Since the first National Adoption Day in 2000, more than 85,000 children have joined permanent families on National Adoption Day.\n\n\u201cI remain committed to ensuring that as our most vulnerable, American children are protected and that adoptive parents are supported,\u201d Rep. Aderholt added.\n\nThe resolution has 40 original cosponsors: Davis, Danny K.
