So with all of the garbage that we hear week after week of what happens to these kids, it is always nice to hear a funny story and share in the joy of children being placed in loving homes! This story comes from one of our social workers who always attends the adoptions of the children. when you work around this stuff on a minute to minute basis, you have to have some good to every now and then outway the bad.
This amazing older couple adopted 4 boys under the age of 10, all who had a diagnosis of ADHD, God bless these people. anyway, they went before the judge on the day of the adoption and the judge asked if any of them were going to change their first names. the youngest, who was just 5, raised his hand and very excitedly asked the courtroom if his name could be changed to Cougar! the mother very calmly put her hand on his lap and said, "no dear, we are not changing it to cougar" and that was it! Love 5 year olds and love to hear stories of hope in these dark times
