INTERNATIONAL NEWS AND VIDEO - Thursday November 9 marks World Adoption Day, a global day to raise awareness of adoption and celebrate family.
The day is marked as an education opportunity to help support families in their adoption process, and is endorsed by ambassadors from all walks of life who recognise the power and beauty of families brought together through adoption.
Locally, the National Adoption Coalition of South Africa (NACSA), under its umbrella initiative AddOption, will launch its “Right Way to Adopt” campaign on World Adoption Day, delivering a simple but crucially important message about how to go about adopting a child in the correct and legal manner.
Since its inception, the National Adoption Coalition of South Africa has worked to build communities that put the needs and rights of adoptable children first. In support of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals adopted in August 2015, a key focus has been to drive goal 16.2 – to end abuse, exploitation, trafficking and all forms of violence against children by 2030.
