Each of his classmates introduced themselves and explained to the judge why they were supporting Michael, the station reported. Many expressed their love for him.
“Michael is my best friend,” Steven, a classmate, said.
Applause filled the courtroom when Michael and his new parents banged the gavel.
Thursday was the 23rd annual Adoption Day in Kent County, where the court allowed each family a half-hour hearing to celebrate the adoption with friends and family. Michael was one of 36 children in who were placed in their forever homes.
Santa Claus took time out of his busy holiday schedule to greet each family and child, WZZM reported. Several other agencies and organizations were on hand to support the new families.
