WHEREAS, the youth of Monroe County are our most precious resource and hope for the
future; and
WHEREAS, all children deserve a safe, loving and nurturing place to call home; and
WHEREAS, adoptive parents are unsung heroes that serve as the final source of love,
protection, and support to the abused and neglected children of Monroe County; and
WHEREAS, the many children in our local foster care program need and deserve permanent
and nurturing families; and
WHEREAS, adoption can provide a stable environment for children, fundamentally improve
their lives and lead to happier, healthier adults; and
WHEREAS, adoptive parents and families who have adopted children require and deserve
community and public agency respect and support; and
WHEREAS, there are numerous individuals and public and private organizations who work
tirelessly to increase public awareness of the needs of adoptive children as well as the enduring
and valuable contribution of adoptive parents, and recognize that the child welfare system is only
as good as those who choose to be a part of it.
NOW, THEREFORE, I Heather Carruthers, Mayor of Monroe County, do hereby declare
November 2016 as
