A resolution designating November 22, 2025, as National Adoption Day and November 2025 as National Adoption Month to promote national awareness of adoption and the children awaiting families, celebrating children and families involved in adoption, and encouraging the people of the United States to secure safety, permanency, and well-being for all children.
Summary
S.Res. 513 is a non-binding resolution that would designate November 22, 2025, as National Adoption Day and the entire month of November 2025 as National Adoption Month. This resolution aims to promote national awareness of adoption and highlight children who are awaiting families. It also seeks to celebrate children and families who have been involved in adoption processes.
As a non-binding resolution, this measure does not have the force of law and does not require presidential signature. Instead, it serves as a congressional expression of support for adoption awareness and advocacy. If passed, the resolution would encourage Americans to focus on securing safety, permanency, and well-being for all children, particularly those in the foster care and adoption systems. The practical impact would be primarily symbolic, raising the profile of adoption issues at the national level during the designated month and day.
