In his proclamation<\/a> for November as National Adoption Month, President Trump acknowledged the importance of adoption in affirming that \u201cevery child\u2014born and unborn\u2014is wanted and loved.\u201d He expressed his administration\u2019s gratitude to the many adoptive families who welcome children into their homes and pointed to \u201cthe courage of those mothers and fathers who place their child for adoption.\u201d He added, \u201cOur Nation grows stronger because of the love and sacrifice of parents, both birth and adoptive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Once again affirming the importance of adoption for preborn babies, Trump called adoption \u201ca powerful way to show women they are\u00a0not alone in an unexpected pregnancy.\u201d Thousands of non-profit pregnancy resource centers and adoption agencies across America are doing just that, supporting mothers during pregnancy and after the birth of their children.<\/p>\n

Trump acknowledged the challenges facing children in foster care, stating:<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, many youth leave foster care at the age of 18 without lasting family connections.\u00a0These children deserve a permanent family, which can provide them with love, stability, support, and encouragement as they pursue personal, educational, and employment goals and confront life\u2019s opportunities and challenges.<\/em><\/p>\n

He wrote, \u201cChildren, regardless of race, sex, age, or disability, deserve a\u00a0loving embrace into families they can call their own.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0The president concluded by encouraging \u201call Americans to observe this month by helping children in need of a permanent home secure a more promising future with a forever family, so they may enter adulthood with the love and support we all deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump issued a similarly pro-life message marking Down Syndrome Awareness Month<\/a>\u00a0in October. In it, he stated, \u201cLife is precious, and it is our moral duty to protect and defend it,\u201d and spoke out against discrimination that leads many doctors to encourage parents to abort their preborn babies with Down syndrome. Trump also delivered an\u00a0address<\/a>\u00a0to the 45th<\/sup>\u00a0Annual March for Life in January of this year, marking the first time a sitting U.S. President has done so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
