 Opinion from Rep. Tony Hwang

The Connecticut State Capitol’s Hall of the Flags looked even more resplendent than usual, lined with American and State flags to proclaim a momentous occasion. And on a warm Friday afternoon in November, the American Dream came closer to the immigrant children and the new families that accepted them with open doors and warm hearts.

I was pleased and honored to be asked to participate in a tremendous and moving ceremony held last month at the CT State Capitol in honor of National Adoption Day. At this event the parents of adopted children, many from nations all over the world, were honored and recognized for their loving generosity of sharing, with the citizenship of these former foster children confirmed.

National Adoption Day, recognized on the third Saturday of November, was initiated in the year 2000 by the Alliance for Children’s Rights and has grown over the ensuing decade to be celebrated nationwide, with over 35,000 children having their adoptions finalized on that day. The Connecticut ceremony was sponsored by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Governor Dannel Malloy and Secretary of the State Denise Merrill were also on hand to extend their congratulations to those in attendance.
