National Adoption Day is scheduled on the Saturday before Thanksgiving every year to raise awareness of the thousands of children across the nation who are living in foster care but are eligible for adoption. Many communities use the day to celebrate the finalization of several adoptions.

Throughout all of 2025, 55 Colorado adoptions will be finalized in Adams County alone. During its National Adoption Day event, the Adams County Department of Human Services celebrated seven children being adopted into five different families. An adoption is the culmination of hard work on the part of county caseworkers, CASA advocates, community partners, and the courts. It is a truly joyous occasion for all those involved but especially for the families. This year, Lourdes and Abel were among them.
