Designates Saturday before Thanksgiving Day as "National Adoption Day" and designates November as "National Adoption Month" in New Jersey.
SJR 11 designates the Saturday before Thanksgiving as "National Adoption Day" and the month of November as "National Adoption Month" in New Jersey. This symbolic resolution, which was withdrawn after approval as P.L.2025, JR-16, requires the Governor to issue an annual proclamation recognizing these dates. It aims to raise public awareness about adoption services and the foster care system, celebrating finalized adoptions without creating new policies or funding. The designation does not directly affect individuals but encourages community recognition of adoption success stories.
