Adoption is a beautiful process that creates families and provides vulnerable children with the protection and love of a home. Every year, more than 250,000 children are placed into foster care, facing many challenges. Not every child gets adopted or finds a loving home, but this 5-year-old is among the lucky ones. He was recently adopted by a family in Bernalillo, New Mexico. In a heartwarming video reported by USA TODAY, the boy shared some sweet words about his new mother, Jennifer Hubby, in court. When the judge asked if anyone wanted to speak, the boy stepped up to express his love for his adoptive mom.
