109,000. That’s the number of children and teens waiting to be adopted who are at risk of aging out of foster care without permanent family connections. Each November, #NationalAdoptionMonth renews our commitment to creating brighter futures for our children and recognizing the individuals who make a meaningful difference in their lives. We invite you to join us in spreading awareness all month long, and if you feel called to make a difference in a child’s life through adoption, visit sccfl.org/adopt to learn more.

Life is better when siblings in foster care can stay together. It’s better for them now and for their future. When you choose to foster siblings, you’ll provide a safe space while nurturing their family bond. Your home can support them through the highs and lows of what it means to be in care.
