Expressing support for the goals of National Adoption Day and National Adoption Month by promoting 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.
HRES 1501 is a symbolic resolution expressing the House of Representatives' support for National Adoption Day (November 19, 2022) and National Adoption Month (November 2022). It encourages the public to raise awareness about children in foster care awaiting permanent families and promotes adoption as a way to provide safety and stability. The resolution does not create new laws or policies but formally recognizes efforts to connect children in foster care with adoptive families, referencing that over 75,000 children joined permanent families on National Adoption Day since 2000. It directly affects public awareness and national recognition of adoption needs, not specific individuals or programs.
