In Kent County, Michigan the court holds an annual Adoption Day. While adoptions are usually private, the event turns them into a celebration, promoting foster care and adoption.
In 2019, 37 children and their new families took part and one little boy wanted to make sure his whole family got to take part.
The couple had become his foster parents about a year ago and decided to make it official.
Dad Dave said, "We asked him and he said, 'You know, the class is kind of my family.' And he wanted them to be there."
They sat to one side with teacher Mrs. McKee, waving hearts on sticks when Michael's turn came around.
"The lesson is put a little love in your heart. We rise when we support others," she said.
