This week, 18 children from Haiti, Ethiopia, China, and other countries were sworn in as U.S. citizens in New York City. Their adoptive parents stood proudly beside them. Many of these fresh-stamped Americans were orphans before finding their forever families.

November 20 is National Adoption Day. For anyone interested in an expanded, richer family experience, plenty of kids from all around the world and right here in the USA are ready and willing to bring the love. Source
