Bill Summary · SCR 113

Legislative bill overview

SCR 113 is a concurrent resolution designating November 2025 as "National Adoption Month" in Delaware. The bill passed both chambers unanimously and carries no binding legal requirements or fiscal impact.

Why is this important

Adoption month designations raise public awareness about adoption services, foster care, and the need for adoptive families. While symbolic, such recognitions can generate media attention and encourage community engagement with adoption agencies and support organizations during the designated period.

Potential points of contention

  • Symbolic vs. substantive: Critics may argue that naming a month does nothing to address systemic issues in foster care, adoption costs, or social services funding
  • Selective recognition: Some may question why adoption receives a designated month while other social issues lack similar formal recognition
  • Resource allocation: Advocates might view time spent on ceremonial resolutions as detracting from legislative focus on concrete adoption-related policy improvements or funding
