County celebrates over 100 adoptions on Adoption Day; Scott Ghormley, family law attorney at Rose Law Group, comments

By 12News

It’s a huge win for families across Maricopa County as over 100 children officially joined their forever families on National Adoption Day.

The Superior Court of Maricopa County announced on Monday that a total of 104 children were adopted during the Nov. 19 event. 

A team of 30 judges and commissioners, court staff, and members of the public volunteered their Saturday to perform adoptions across 76 hearings.

“National Adoption is the best day of the year in our court system. It’s arguably the only day where everyone, including judges, leave court with smiles on their faces,” Presiding Juvenile Department Judge Lori Bustamante said. 

“If you walk around the courthouse, you feel a whole community coming together for the benefit of our children.”

“All too often, family and juvenile courts are viewed in a negative light. Many associate the court system with families breaking up and children being thrown into situations that are far too difficult for children to manage. However, National Adoption Day is an excellent reminder that courts are ultimately focused on children’s needs, especially some of the most vulnerable children in the foster care system.”
