ADOPTION AWARENESS MONTH
PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, children are our greatest resource and the brightest hope for the future of our state and
nation; and
WHEREAS, the family is the cornerstone of our society, the unit by which we transmit the values and
traditions of the past, and is the primary agent which prepares our children to become productive citizens;
and
WHEREAS, every child, regardless of physical, medical or emotional disabilities, age or race, deserves a
permanent, caring family and the opportunity to grow in a secure environment; and
WHEREAS, adoption is a loving and viable way of building a family and providing stability for children
who need families; and
WHEREAS, birth parents who make the difficult decision to place their children with adoptive families,
adoptive parents who open their hearts and homes to children, as well as social workers, advocates, and
judges who all work tirelessly toward permanence for every child, all deserve community support and
respect; and
WHEREAS, Adoption Awareness Month is a time for all Americans to reflect on the dreams of those
children who wait for a permanent family, and those families who desire the joys and responsibilities of
parenthood; and
WHEREAS, many children find permanent homes through adoption by their foster families, thereby
creating an ongoing need for new foster and adoptive families.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED by the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners
that November 2009 be recognized as "Adoption Awareness Month" in New Hanover County. The
Board thanks all adoptive mothers and adoptive fathers for their commitment to children. Further we
encourage our community to honor the special needs of New Hanover County's children in hopes of
securing a permanent, loving family for each and every child regardless of race, age, gender, health,
emotional condition or past distress.
