More than 3,200 Indiana children are currently in foster care, waiting to be adopted. On November 22, courts across the country will be working to raise awareness during National Adoption Day.

Starke Circuit Court will hold a number of events that day as part of the celebration. Starting at 9:30 a.m., adoption and foster care specialists will be on hand to answer questions. There will also be kids’ activities such as face painting.

From 10:00 to 10:30 a.m. a ceremony will be held, featuring Judge Kim Hall and several area speakers. The public will then have a chance to see at least two final adoption hearings, something that would normally be closed to the public. A reception will be held from noon to 12:30 p.m.

Starke Circuit Court’s National Adoption Day event will take place on the third floor of the Starke County Courthouse in Knox.
