Happy World Adoption Day! ???? At embrella, we honor the first goal of foster and kinship care: reuniting children with their families of origin. But when that’s not possible, we know how vital it is to provide stable, loving homes where children and teens can thrive. Adoption is a crucial part of this journey, and we’re deeply grateful for the incredible adoptive families who make a lasting difference every day. #WorldAdoptionDay #FosterCare #Adopt #KinshipCare #Gratitude #embrella #BuildingFamilies
