Adoption Day for my CASA kid!

I am a Court appointed Special Advocate for abused and neglected kids in King County.

I represent the children in court hearings as their parents are going through court proceedings.

Tomorrow, my second of two cases will be resolved when J is adopted by his foster parents!

I have had this case since 2003. J is now 8 years old. He was put into foster care at age three when his developmentally-delayed mother's, drug dealing boyfriend beat him.

Three years of court hearings, writing verbose and meticulous Reports to Court and spending my afternoons at Juvenile Court were all worth it for the final court appearance tomorrow when J is adopted.
