November is National Adoption Month. When reunification with a child’s family of origin is not possible, adoption can be a recommended outcome. Adoption Day holds significant importance for both children and families, marking the beautiful moment when a child finds a permanent home.

Children in foster care often face a unique set of challenges due to traumatic experiences they may have endured. Understanding trauma is essential for those advocating for children who are in vulnerable situations, as it helps provide necessary support and care. Reading books that delve into the topic of trauma can be an excellent way to gain insight and empathy. Even those who have personally experienced trauma can benefit from reading about the subject; these books allow people to see themselves reflected while also creating space to understand the different traumatic experiences.
