This month's issue of CBX features National Adoption Month 2019 and finding permanency for children and youth in out-of-home care. Read a message from Jerry Milner, associate commissioner of the Children's Bureau, and David Kelly, special assistant to the commissioner, that highlights the importance of being mindful of the circumstances that lead to the need for adoption to ensure families have a fighting chance of staying together. The issue also includes adoption resources for professionals and families working to help children and youth find safe, nurturing, and permanent homes.
