Author Pam Litman Celebrates Adoption Month with "My New Family and Me"
Parents and their adopted children give thanks during November, which is National Adoption Month.
Woodbury – Pamela Litman, author of a new children’s book, “My New Family and Me,” urges parents and their adopted children to celebrate and share the joys of adoption during November, which is National Adoption Month. This is especially true on Sunday, November 22, which has been designated National Adoption Day.
President Obama recently issued a proclamation saying in part:
“All young people deserve a safe place to live, and with each passing year, more children know the warmth and comfort of a loving family thanks to adoptive parents. People who adopt do so for a variety of reasons, but they are united in the kindness and devotion they show toward children — the people who need it most. During National Adoption Month, we recognize the selflessness of adoptive families, and we thank them for opening their hearts and their doors to young people in need of a safe, stable place to call home.”
