New forever families celebrate National Adoption Day in San Francisco

Adoption Day in San Francisco honored the occasion with a celebration for the city's newest forever families. This was at the Civic Center Courthouse this afternoon. Attendees celebrated nine families who adopted 10 children. Parents we spoke to said they were excited and proud to permanently welcome those kids into their home. Every child does not get that opportunity to get adopted and to get adopted into a great family. Unfortunately, we wish that every child would have that opportunity, but realistically, it doesn't happen. None of it, of course, would be possible without the families that have come forward, whether they're from the child's extended family or the community. None of this would happen if those folks did not come forward and say... I'm committed. I'm going to take care of these kids. Miller added that the city has had a successful year in finding children permanent homes. The city has already officiated more adoptions this year than it did in all of last year. What a special day, special moment for those families.
