National Adoption Day raises awareness of the more than 100,000 children in foster care. Each year on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, the day focuses on children waiting for permanent, loving families. Not only does the day aim to find homes, but National Adoption Day also helps the dreams of many children and families come true. #NationalAdoptionDay

More than 100 #adoptions finalized on #NationalAdoptionDay in Maricopa County

Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Robert Brooks completed three hearings at the event, which is the same number he usually does weekly. Brooks said the legal process for adoption in the county takes about four to five months. None of the hearings Saturday was contested, he noted.

Before finalizing any adoption, Brooks and 29 other judges who took hearings on Saturday reviewed the petition to adopt, the consent and report filings from child protectives services and testimony from the child case worker.

"(These adoptions) provide these children with #stability and permanency in a home that is safe and able to meet their needs. A lot of these children are coming from homes with instability because of #drugs or #abuse or significant #neglect, and almost all have suffered some form of #trauma because of that," Brooks said.
