Montgomery County has many families step forward to provide safe, loving, supportive homes for children who, through a variety of circumstances, cannot return to their biological families. Sometimes, adoption becomes the best option and adoptive parents give children a new family, security, a sense of belonging and a commitment to permanency. The Montgomery County Council on Nov. 27 recognized November as National Adoption Month. Councilmembers Roger Berliner and Valerie Ervin presented a proclamation to adoptive parents and County employees who work to match children in need with new families.
