Permanency is transformational for everyone involved. Adoption and Permanency Awareness Month is about celebrating the devoted families created when people open their hearts and commit to sharing their lives with a vulnerable child or youth. They offer a welcoming stability, ensuring children and youth have the foundation they need to build the lives they dream of. That is why Adoption and Permanency Awareness Month is also about recognizing the children and youth who are still waiting for permanent, stable, and nurturing homes.
