Knew it was gonna be this story when I saw the thread title. Thread-worthy indeed.

Yep.  Adoption day is the best day of the year at the courthouse, every year.  Without question.

I've been at the courthouse in the middle of a contentious trial.  We had to take a break and move to the gallery while the judge took care of a previously scheduled adoption.  Buncha hardened trial lawyers in the gallery, all of us with tears running down our faces.  Best damned day ever.

That's fantastic.

Not billable, eh?

Just kidding. That's pretty awesome. 

When the ex and I adopted our two we were sitting in the courtroom gallery with them waiting for the case to come up and the judge made us go wait outside because he said he didn't want the kids disrupting his courtroom.

I’m anecdotally seeing more people adopting lately. It’s heartening. It’d be more heartening if there were a lot less kids in such a situation that they needed adoption. Mucho props to the couple in this story.
