The Los Angeles Adoption Day Program started in 1997 as a partnership between the Alliance for Children's Rights, Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, the Department of Children and Family Services and Public Counsel. The innovative program began as a solution to the overwhelming number of foster child adoptions, which were stuck in a backlog. Together, we cleared the backlog and in doing so, established a national model for performing adoptions. Adoption Days are held in Los Angeles throughout the year every few months. Children and families fill the court for an afternoon dedicated to creating forever families. (Photo by Iris Schneider)
