Today, the government observes it as a way to bring attention to the need for adoptive families for teens in the U.S. foster care system.
According to the Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System, in the 2021 fiscal year, there were over 114,000 children and youth waiting to be adopted who were at risk of aging out of foster care without permanent family connections.
In New York State, an adult unmarried person, an adult married couple together, or any two unmarried intimate partners together may adopt a person.
In certain instances, minors may adopt another individual. Under NYDRL §110, a minor married couple may adopt a child born to either of them. Similarly, a minor spouse may adopt a previous child of their spouse.
