Governor Steve Beshear has proclaimed November Adoption Awareness Month in Kentucky and is reminding Kentuckians to consider opening their hearts and homes to the state’s more than 800 waiting children.
Gov. Beshear said every child deserves a loving home.
“Families who adopt are champions of children,” Gov. Beshear said. “We are so grateful to them for their deep compassion and giving children in need a forever family.”
The Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services’ (CHFS) Department for Community Based Services (DCBS) is responsible for the state’s child protection efforts, including foster care and adoption.
CHFS Secretary Janie Miller said that while the state’s success in the area of adoption requires strong collaborations among adoptive parents, the state and local communities, the heart of the program is the adoptive families.
“We strive to achieve permanency for children in foster care, and these parents complete the process by making the decision to selflessly share their lives and homes,” Miller said.
