Adoption makes that possible by opening the door to stability and belonging for children who need a family. During National Adoption Month, we commend the parents whose love has changed lives and the children whose presence has completed families -- and we recommit to caring for the many children still waiting for the comfort and security of a permanent home.Adoption reflects the deep value our Nation places on family and abundant life. As President, I am committed to empowering families who answer the call to open their hearts and homes to children. Through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, I made the adoption tax credit more accessible and expanded the child tax credit, helping remove financial barriers to adopting and allowing families to save more of their income to care for their children. While adoption creates beautiful new beginnings, too many children in our foster care system still wait for a permanent home. During my first term, I took monumental action to strengthen America's foster care and adoption systems by signing into law the landmark Family First Prevention Services Act -- the most sweeping reform of Federal child welfare policy in decades. This law utilizes proven intervention methods to keep families intact and prevent unnecessary separation. This term, I remain firmly committed to continuing this vital work alongside First Lady Melania Trump. Just last week, I signed an Executive Order on Fostering the Future for American Children and Families, to harness Federal support, technology, and strategic partnerships to provide young Americans in, or transitioning out of, the foster-care system with the tools they need to become successful adults. This effort is strengthened by the leadership of the First Lady whose work continues to uplift and protect the well-being of America's children -- ensuring every child has greater access to a strong foundation for the future. This month, we recognize the profound truth that all children are a gift from God, worthy of love, care, and family. We honor the parents and families who welcome children into their homes and provide the stability and guidance every young person deserves. Above all, we commit to protecting children, supporting those who care for them, and strengthening the pillar of family across our great Nation. NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim November 2025 as National Adoption Month throughout the United States. I encourage all Americans to observe this month by supporting children in need of a safe and loving home, uplifting the families who welcome them, and helping strengthen the bonds of family and community across our Nation. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand thisseventeenth day of November, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fiftieth.

A PROCLAMATION
It is America’s destiny to explore and expand our frontiers beyond Earth to the farthest depths of space. Today, my Administration reaffirms that our solar system and all of outer space beyond Earth are the province of all humans, and that our Nation will lead the way in the exploration, development, use, and settlement of these new frontiers — forging an interplanetary civilization founded on the enduring and inalienable rights of freedom and individual liberty.
From the intrepid Apollo 11 astronauts who took humanity’s first steps on the Moon to the pioneering rovers that explored the surface of Mars, the United States has always blazed a trail into the great unknown, shattering boundaries and pushing mankind to extraordinary new heights. Behind each triumph are generations of astronauts, scientists, engineers, and workers whose tireless dedication and unmatched ingenuity turn impossible dreams into reality.
Under my leadership, the United States is once again writing a bold new chapter in space exploration. This past April, the Artemis II mission successfully carried astronauts around the Moon and farther from Earth than any human had ever traveled before. This historic voyage is only the beginning. Next summer, Artemis III will undertake one of the most complex and consequential test flight campaigns in the history of our Nation’s space program.
This proud legacy of innovation is our sacred inheritance, and our Nation bears the solemn responsibility to advance it by continuing to open new horizons of exploration and discovery. Through the landmark Executive Orders and directives I have signed, we are reinvigorating human spaceflight, unleashing a competitive and thriving commercial space industry, and ensuring American space superiority for all eternity. We will return to the Moon by 2028, lay the foundation for a permanent American lunar presence, and hasten the day when an American becomes the first human to set foot on the red dunes of Mars. Together, we will build the facilities, develop the resources, and establish a permanent presence in space to extend the reach of American exploration, preserve our frontier spirit, and strengthen our national security for centuries to come. The nation that leads in space will shape the future of humanity — and that nation will be the United States of America.
Today, we renew our solemn and righteous mission to propel humanity toward the farthest reaches of the universe. We reaffirm that the United States will lead the way in this bold endeavor, for the nation with the best scientific understanding of space, the most advanced space economy, and the greatest spacefaring citizens, will be the most prosperous nation for centuries to come. Above all, we pledge to carry our sacred values of faith and freedom wherever we journey, so that freedom may forever ring among the stars and beyond.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim that the solar system and all of outer space beyond Earth are the province of all humans and are open to exploration, development, use, and the establishment of a permanent presence by American citizens consistent with United States law and the international obligations of the United States.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this third day of November, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fifty-first.
DONALD J. TRUMP
