“National Adoption Day: Celebrating the Lifelong Journey of Adoption” For the Keith family, adoption wasn’t just an option—it was a calling. With a passion for fostering and a deep desire to grow their family, they adopted two children to join their three biological kids, creating a beautiful family of seven. Those early days were “a sweet time,” filled with bonding and cherished memories. But as the Keiths have learned, adoption is more than a moment—it’s a lifelong journey. Each child’s story is unique, and they embrace the joys and challenges of helping their children navigate their paths with love and understanding. Their advice? Be ready for both the highs and lows. Adoption is a journey of love, growth, and resilience—one the Keith family wouldn’t trade for the world. This National Adoption Day, we honor families like the Keiths, whose stories show us the transformative power of love and the lasting impact of adoption.

Creating a welcoming space for youth starts with intentional actions: ?? Listen to their voices, use inclusive language, address biases, and celebrate cultural connections. Mistakes are okay—it’s all about growth. Most importantly, put the person before the process to show they are valued and supported. ?? #NationalAdoptionMonth Learn more about Adoption Month: https://lnkd.in/gZ45E6AT
