adoption day
Family finalization date
Adoption day is the day when an adoption becomes legally final, marking when a child officially becomes part of a new family.
Families often celebrate the anniversary as a second milestone alongside birthdays: We throw a party every year on her adoption day.
The term also applies to the day someone adopts a pet from a shelter.
