Hudson Vicinage to Celebrate National Adoption Day

The Hudson Vicinage will hold a National Adoption Day celebration on Friday, Nov. 17 at the Hudson County Administration Building, 595 Newark Ave, Jersey City.

The vicinage will host the event along with the state Division of Child Protection and Permanency and the Court Appointed Special Advocates of Hudson County.

Assignment Judge Jeffrey R. Jablonski and Family Division Judge Margaret Marley will preside over hearings for the final adoptions of five children who will be welcomed into their forever families.

National Adoption Day is an annual event in which courts and communities in all 50 states join to finalize thousands of adoptions and to celebrate families who adopt. 

Although adoptions are closed to the public, reporters may request to interview willing families after the adoption proceedings have concluded. For more information, contact Michelle Vicari at 201-748-4400, ext. 60767.
