25th Annual Adoption Day

Adoption

County of Kent issued the following announcement on Dec 3.

The Kent County 17th Circuit Court, Family Division marked its 25th Annual Adoption Day today with 27 adoptions finalized. Embodying this year’s theme, “You are Deer to Us,” many of the virtual courtrooms and judges were decorated and dressed in festive reindeer attire.

The Family Division finalizes an average of 300 adoptions each year, with the largest number in a single day typically slated for the Annual Adoption Days.

“We celebrate every single adoption that is finalized in our courtrooms throughout the year,” said 17th Circuit Family Division Judge Kathleen Feeney. “But our annual adoption day is a way to collectively honor these momentous occasions and to celebrate with the children and families whose lives are forever changed through adoption.”
