Senate Bill 640 amends the Government Code to establish Texas Adoption Day, to be held on the Saturday before Thanksgiving Day of each year, to celebrate and encourage adoption, adoptive families, and adoption workers in Texas. The bill requires Texas Adoption Day to be regularly observed by appropriate ceremonies and activities that encourage participation in and raise awareness about the adoption process and that honor adoptive families and adoption workers in Texas. The Department of Family and Protective Services is required to create a statewide awareness campaign to promote Texas Adoption Day and to coordinate ceremonies and activities held throughout the state.
