Arizona Judges Plan to Set Adoption Record

In honor of Nov. 20 being designated Yuma County (Ariz.) Adoption Day, judges John Nelson and Maria Elena Cruz will approve what is believed to be a record-setting number of adoptions.

Yuma Sun
staff writer Chris McDaniel reported on the adoption event in a Nov. 15 article:
Nearly 30 children who have been living under foster care will be getting adopted into new families Friday at the Yuma County Juvenile Justice Center. ...

"We are going to do 20-plus adoptions involving at least 30 children. We estimate there will be 160 family members including family being adopted and their siblings," Nelson said.

The day will bring together judges, attorneys, adoption agencies, adoption professionals and child advocates who are dedicated to creating permanent homes for foster children.
