Nationally, more than 100,000 children and youth are in foster care with a plan of adoption. National Adoption Month urges Americans to 'Answer the Call' to adopt children and youth from foster care.

* An activities calendar for November, available in Spanish and English

* Targeted resources for professionals, families, and teachers

* Enhanced search results for the Spanish version of the National Foster Care & Adoption Directory

* Resources from our collaborative partner, AdoptUsKids
