Huge happy smiles, huge happy kisses, huge happy hugs, because it is precious Sadie's Adoption Day! We are so thankful to celebrate with this amazing foster and adoptive mom and her (now official!) daughter. Sadie has been blessed with a hero momma who loves her!
(And thank you to Mr. Roberts with DHR for coming to share in the celebration! We were so glad you made the trip.)

Getting to Know Adoption
Happy Birthday to our Chief Law Clerk and Top-Notch Legal Ninja!
Adoption is not just for children! Today we finalized and celebrated the adult adoption of a Daughter and her Father... and made into a legal reality, what has already been true. That the man who loved and raised Amanda is her real Dad. Congratulations to the Redd and Fields families, and thank you for trusting us with your adoption.
It’s a beautiful day for a Lee county adoption! Congratulations to our newest adoptive family!
Thank you to Judge English and Chief Clerk Becky Freeman for your excellence in facilitating this adoption.
Thank you to our wonderful translator Seongho Choi!

The juvenile court can not completely deprive the parents of the custody of the child unless the appropriate quantum of evidence established all of the following three conditions...

E.H. v. Calhoun County DHR: Quantum of Evidence Necessary to Deprive a Natural Parent of Custody
On August 5, 2020, in the middle of a pandemic and national turmoil, something beauitful was happening in the tiny town of Hayneville, AL. After 1215 days in foster care, Haiden became the legal son of Lincoln and Melinda Speece and the legal brother of Halina, Jameson, and Hudson; the family who had loved him his whole life. After days, weeks, months, and years of uncertainty and even fear for the future, the decision was finally made, the paperwork signed, the reailty of Haiden belonging as a Speece made legal. And oh the joy!
The Court Civil Appeals has handed down an interesting decision defining “emotional abuse”...
