I loved getting to start my week off with an adoption! Today’s adoption involved a grandmother adopting her grandson. The biological parents consented to voluntarily terminating their parental rights so that Grandmother, who has had the child in her care for years, could adopt.
The significance of all the emotions involved in parental consents is not lost on me. These parents deserve grace and dignity in what is often an incredibly painful decision, even though it is best for the child.
Little Mister has been safe, loved and protected by Grandmother for years. That will never change, nor will the only home he’s really ever known. He’s had stability and as of this morning, he has permanency forever.
That feeds my soul and reminds me that I continue to be aligned with my life’s purpose. This isn’t just my job. These families aren’t cases. They are blessings to me and the kids they love.
Best career ever! ❤️ ⚖️
