🌟 Today was one for the memory books in our Adoption Department! 🌟

As one Clark County Judge said when he spotted our Adoption Attorney, Claire Lorch Hagedorn, at the courthouse — “This is your Super Bowl!” 🏆
And he couldn’t have been more right! ❤️

We were thrilled to kick off National Adoption Month with Judge Lisa G. Reger and her incredible team in Clark County. The Circuit 4 crew filled the courthouse with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories for families finalizing their adoptions today — and we were honored to be part of such a heart-warming celebration.

This year, our office proudly helped finalize four adoptions — three stepparent and one foster — for amazing families who entrusted us with their stories. Watching those moments of pure joy never gets old. 🥰

Adoption Day is truly what it’s all about — love, family, and new beginnings. A huge thank-you to our clients, Judge Reger, and her outstanding staff for making this day so special. 💕

Happy National Adoption Month! Let’s continue celebrating the beauty of family in all its forms. ❤️✨
