Whereas every child deserves a happy childhood and a permanent, nurturing and loving family; and Whereas every day, families are strengthened and expanded when committed and dedicated in- dividuals make an important difference in the life of a child through adoption; and Whereas nearly a quarter of individuals in the United States have considered adoption, but many individuals have misperceptions about the process of adopting children; and Whereas it is essential that national, state and local governments strive to make it easier for more children to find safe and caring homes and to ensure that adoptive families have the support they need; and Whereas National Adoption Day currently raises awareness of children in foster care, but it is equally important that we celebrate individuals of all ages who are adoptees and honor all families that have been built through adoption; and Whereas an annual statewide day of celebration in Oregon will recognize the bonds of love shared by adoptive families across this state and celebrate the thousands of adoptive families who have opened their hearts to provide safe and caring homes; and Whereas bringing awareness to adoption through an annual statewide day of celebration will encourage more Oregonians to consider growing their families through adoption; now, therefore, Signed/Enacted/Adopted
