While close to 3,000 children are waiting for adoptive homes, the states biennial budget process battered Ohios support of children needing safe, stable, permanent homes. These cuts have severely put current adopted children at risk and they have stalled activities to secure loving permanent homes for Ohios waiting children. Each day Ohio delays, is another day children spend waiting and celebrating lifes milestones without permanent families.
On November 6, 2009 advocates rallied at the Ohio Statehouse at an Event: Filling Family Portraits: A Picture Does Say a Thousand WordsSupport Adoption. Representing affected children and families from across the state, a group of adoption advocates have combined forces to sponsor Filling Family Portraits to celebrate and promote adoption awareness for waiting children. During the program, hundreds of empty frames will be displayed on the statehouse steps to symbolize those children without permanent family connections.
