In the state of Michigan, this past Tuesday was a very special day for hundreds of families as it was Michigan Adoption Day.
Across the state, emotions were high in several courtroom this week, specifically Midland County, where six children were officially adopted and received new names. Judge Kelly of the Midland County court said that, "Our court has encouraged all courts across the state to make it a special day in their particular area."
One at a time, families appeared before Judge Kelly and Midland County Probate Judge Dorene Allen for the finalizations of their highly anticipated adoptions. Judge Allen also said, "All of these families have chosen to make this public, because normally, adoptions are confidential proceedings."
The state says that on its Adoption Day, 225 adoptions were finalized in Michigan counties.
