November is National Adoption month, a month set aside to raise awareness about the adoption of children and youth from foster care. This year's theme,"You don't have to be perfect to be a perfect parent," includes a more focused effort that reaches out to the African American community and builds on the Ad Council's new public service announcement (PSA) campaign of the Children’s Bureau, the Adoption Exchange Association, and AdoptUsKids.
