Adoption is a noble act and it does send out a message to the society that every child deserves to be loved and taken care of. Recently, a heartwarming video is doing the rounds on the internet.
Five-year-old Michael Clark Jr was adopted and all his classmates from kindergarten were invited for the hearing.
The post was first shared on Facebook and it now has garnered 15k likes. In the photo, it can be seen how Michael’s classmates came to cheer him up at the Kent County courtroom in Michigan and they even told the judge how much they love their classmates.
In an interview with CNN, Michael’s mother said, it was the boy’s teacher who proposed the idea of having his classmates at the adoption hearing and arrangements were made accordingly. Also, Michael’s classmates brought heart props and waved them when his adoption was being finalized. Michael was adopted by a couple in whose care has been for a year now, said a report.
The Court posted the picture of the adoption and in no time it went viral.
Michael brought his entire kindergarten class with him today to witness his adoption.
