For the classroom
National Adoption Day is a day when courts finish adoptions so children can officially join a family. In Toledo, Ohio, five children in Lucas County were adopted. One of them is a boy whose grandmother adopted him. Adoption means a judge makes a family relationship permanent. Five is the number of children whose cases closed that day in that county. A grandmother adopting her grandson is one of those five, a family that was already connected and is now permanent in the law. The story is those five children, not every child in Ohio who is waiting.

- Why might a grandmother be the person who adopts a child?
- How is one adoption day different from the months of care before it?
