We love Michael
Michael’s classmates were not only in attendance, they waved paper flags throughout the ceremony as a show of support. The kids were also given the chance to introduce themselves during the hearing.
One of them said:
“My name is Lily, and I love Michael.”
I love you daddy
The five-year-old’s teacher was also present as she spoke about the importance of having a family. The judge, Patricia Gardner, was so amazed during the court session.
Michael already felt connected to his new family as he spoke about his love for the father. On hearing the kid say “I love you daddy" David cried.
The judge said:
“Sometimes their journeys have been very long, They’ve included miracle and change for the children and family, and incredible community support - as you’re able to see today in Michael’s adoption hearing.”
