November is National Adoption Month, and nearly two dozen Philadelphia families celebrated with a special adoption ceremony on Friday.
Anne Marie Ambrose, with Philadelphia's Department of Human Services, says her organization is celebrating adoptive families:
"We had about 22 families that had their final adoption hearing, which means we created permanent, loving, stable families for these children who didn't have a place to go."
But she says it's not an easy process for adoptive parents:
"There's often a lot of barriers and bureaucracy in the way, and so this is really a big event to celebrate."
