Zane (3.5 months) and His DadIt’s finally that glorious time of year when the leaves change and kids start dreaming up what or who they want to be for Halloween!

Submit a photo of your child to enter our Halloween Photo Contest, which is open to all families who have adopted through our agency. Entering is simple – just send us a photo of your child (to editors@americanadoptions.com) by Friday, November 1st!

Winners will be selected by YOU! We’ll be posting the photos (with first names and ages only) to our Facebook page, where we encourage you and your friends and family to vote for your favorite photos with a like! (Comments will not count.)

Voting will close on Monday, November 11th at 5PM CST, and winners will be announced then. Winners will also appear in an issue of our newsletter American Adoptions News and right here on our blog!
