In November we celebrate National Adoption Awareness month at LifeLong Adoptions as well as being active proponents of the adoption cause.

Through the lens of our adoptive children, how do they see our love? On any given day there are 415,000 children that are without homes and are provided for by social services alone in the United States. We are afforded every freedom to define our own individual perspective in this country, but is there any room to deny those children their voice?If we are truly empathizing with them, are we listening to their longing for permanence?

Institutional love of a child based on creed, race, or gender identity is consequential to a progressive society. Instead, we should consider their basic needs for forever homes and the security of a family to their overall development. In November we ignore conventions and celebrate the home, structure, opportunities, provisions and permanence that households of all variations can afford those 415,000 children. #ElevateAdoption

#NOVEMBER IS #ADOPTIONAWARENESSMONTH. SHARE, SUPPORT AND, CELEBRATE #ADOPTION WITH US @LIFELONGADPT

It is estimated that about 2 million LGBT adults in the United States are interested in adoption. Unfortunately, the reality is that there are still so many adoption agencies and organizations that reject hopeful parents because of their sexual orientation, married status, religious beliefs, and a host of other reasons.

Unfortunately, this negativity and exclusion also extends to the children in the adoption world. There are a large number of LGBTQ children currently in the foster care system, abandoned by their families because of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression. Many adoption agencies and organizations simply do not have the proper knowledge and skills to give these children the services they need.
