Foster Friends will provide breakfast, entertainment, and gifts to help make National Adoption Day special for families who are adopting children from foster care. National Adoption Day is a collective effort to raise awareness of children in foster care who are waiting for permanent adoptive families. Consider these statistics:

• More than 100,000 children in foster care are waiting for an adoptive family.
• The average child in foster care waits nearly three years to be adopted.
• More than 23,000 children age out of foster care each year with no permanent adoptive home to return to.
