Celebrate National Adoption Month with Families United Network

November is National Adoption Month, a time to celebrate the families built through adoption and recognize the thousands of children who are still waiting for a safe, loving, and permanent home. Throughout the month, Families United Network is hosting family-friendly events across Pennsylvania to help individuals and families learn more about foster care and adoption. Thanks to Statewide Adoption Network and being awarded min-grants, our agency has the opportunity to spread awareness of the need for adoptive parents in Pennsylvania.

Whether you’re actively considering adoption, curious about fostering, or simply looking for a way to make a difference in a child’s life, these events are a great place to start. Meet our local teams, hear about the experiences of foster and adoptive families, ask questions in a relaxed setting, and discover how you can help provide hope and stability for a child in need.

Ready to Learn More? You don’t need to have all the answers, and you don’t need to be ready to commit. Many foster and adoptive parents began with a single conversation. Join us at one of the events below and take the first step toward changing a child’s future.

Attend an event. Ask questions. Explore the possibilities. Make a difference.
