November is National ADOPTION month! This is a month dedicated to all things ADOPTION! We spread awareness about ADOPTION. We recognize all those impacted by ADOPTION. We cheer on our ADOPTIVE parents and soon to be ADOPTIVE parents. We smile because someone was ADOPTED. And most importantly, we make the world aware that there are so many other children waiting and wanting to be ADOPTED!
CONCERN's President/CEO, Gordon May was adopted and he shares that it wasn't until later in life that he realized what that really meant, how lucky he was, and how the decisions of those around him when he was young, would set things in motion for the rest of his life.
Throughout his life, he has been fortunate to be surrounded by amazing people, teachers/professors, friends, and coaches who all supported him along the way. Without this support, he would not be where he is today. Even now, he is surrounded by amazing coworkers, family, and friends. To think, it all started because he was ADOPTED, is a true testament to the difference you can make in a child's life when you choose adoption.
“Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at it’s destination full of hope” ~ Maya Angelou. This quote sums up what ADOPTION is all about. It’s also representative of our mission at CONCERN to bring hope, offer opportunity, and inspire change! When our mission is in line with Maya Angelou, you know we are doing the right thing!
Are you doing the right thing? Have you spread your love and hope? We all have a stake in making this world a better place! To all of those families who have ADOPTED, thank you! To those of you thinking about ADOPTING, please take the leap, and realize the impact you could have on someone’s life. And to all those kids waiting to be ADOPTED, there is a family out their for you!
Please let everyone you know that November is National ADOPTION month. The more people who tell their story, talk about ADOPTION, the more likely others are to ADOPT! The kids need their forever family!
