National Adoption Day
Calling Out of Names
November 18, 2020
Did you miss the Calling out of Names live stream on November 18th? Not to worry, you can still watch the video of this important event.
Provide a voice for the voiceless.
Each year, we pause our busy lives long enough to speak the names of thousands of children in California who are waiting in foster care for a forever family that will love them and provide them with a stable home.
This year we need your help more than ever to bring awareness of the challenges that have only worsened for foster youth due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
SOME NAMES HAVE BEEN READ YEAR AFTER YEAR.
Join us in witnessing this powerful vigil as we collectively consider how to take action to keep the implicit promise of permanence that we made when we took them into protective custody.
LET THEM KNOW THEY HAVE NOT BEEN FORGOTTEN.
