Earlier this month, the Children’s Bureau, in collaboration with Child Welfare Information Gateway and AdoptUSKids, launched the2016 National Adoption Month (NAM) website at https://www.childwelfare.gov/topics/adoption/nam/?utm_source=October&utm_medium=elert&utm_content=home&utm_campaign=NAM16
In-line with its theme, “We Never Outgrow the Need for Family–Just Ask Us,” the NAM website provides resources to help professionals start or re-engage older youth in conversations about adoption and permanency. Families can also access information about adopting older youth and finding support when it’s needed.
Also check out our Spread the Word section for outreach tools and the Watch and Listen page for videos and podcasts, which are all geared towards supporting and promoting the permanency of older youth in foster care.
