WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Each year on National Adoption Day, a special Saturday in November, hundreds of courts open their doors to finalize thousands of adoptions for children in foster care and to celebrate all families that adopt. This year, National Adoption Day was celebrated on November 20th and thousands of children were adopted at celebrations in nearly 200 communities nationwide.

WASHINGTON, May 3, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- PFLAG National (Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) praised Congressman Pete Stark (D-CA) for his reintroduction of The Every Child Deserves a Family Act.
