The day calls all to not only celebrate family but also to raise awareness for adoption.

The World Adoption Day site explained that the day is to raise funds to support families in their adoption. Ambassadors from all walks of life, across the world, host events that mark the special day. Be it an event or a party the plan is to get people together, loving each other company and reveling in the thought that one does not need to be biologically related to have a strong sense of what family is all about.

To mark the day, people took to social media to spread the cheer by drawing smiley faces on their hands. The initiative asked that people post pictures of themselves either with their friends or family with the hashtag, #WorldAdoptionDay.

Show your support by posting a picture of you with your best smiley face, and spread the cheer.
