November is National Adoption Month. Regarding adoption, the First Presidency has stated,
"Children are entitled to the blessing of being reared in a stable family environment where father and mother honor marital vows. Having a secure, nurturing and consistent relationship with both a father and a mother is essential to a child's well-being. When choosing adoption, unwed parents grant their children this most important blessing. Adoption is an unselfish, loving decision that blesses the child, birth parents and adoptive parents in this life and throughout the eternities. We commend all those who strengthen children and families by promoting adoption."
