November is National Adoption Awareness Month! I do not consider adoption to be volunteering in any way, shape, or form; and it is certainly not for everyone. However, adopting is a fantastic way to give back and change a life forever.
Even if you do not feel called to adopt, there are many ways you can help adopting families and the children left behind without a family. This is important throughout the year, but especially at the holiday times when family traditions are such a special part of the season.
So, although November might not be exclusively about adoption related issues, that will be a main focus throughout the month. Check back regularly as I have been saving up some posts on this topic!
To get you started, here are Eight Ways to Celebrate National Adoption Awareness Month by Michele S. Martin from iparenting.
Edited to add: Speaking of adoption, Cupcake, our foster puppy was recently adopted by an awesome family and she is reportedly very happy in her new home :) We'll see who our next foster doggy is!
