Adoption Tour 2007 presented 50 riders celebrating 50 adoptions during the third annual bicycle tour across the state of Tennessee. The purpose of the event, which departed Memphis on Oct. 8 and arrived in Knoxville on Oct. 12, was to draw attention to the need for adoptive families, to pledge support to those who choose to adopt, and to celebrate the families who have adopted.

This year, 50 bicyclists pedaled 433.7 miles across the state in honor of 50 families who have recently adopted or actually finalized their adoption during the Adoption Tour.
