San Benito Court Celebrates Adoption Month November 9 With Public Recognition Event

HOLLISTER — November 7, 2026. The Superior Court of California in San Benito County is planning a National Adoption Month recognition event for Monday, November 9, at 10 a.m. in the courthouse at 450 Fourth Street, Hollister.

What is planned

The court describes an approximately hour-long public gathering recognizing adoption and the families who have taken part in the legal process. A display known as the adoption tree is planned on the courthouse’s second floor outside Courtroom 1.

What adoption means legally

An adoption judgment establishes a legal parent-child relationship with rights and responsibilities under California law. The court’s recognition of adoption is not a statement that any individual family’s confidential case information is open to the public.

Visiting the courthouse

Those considering attending should confirm access, security screening and any updates through the court’s official public information. People should respect privacy rules and avoid photographing children or court records without permission. The court announced this event in advance; no attendance or final program results are established by the announcement.
