James and Fred arranged quite a special surprise. Today, August 15, 2014, James was legally adopted by his forever Mom. What a blessing!
Since James was this size, Deena has been there for him. She loved him and Fred through struggles and young tears, to celebrations and joyous new beginnings. Deena has always been a "mother." It's now just official. She is truly a beautiful light in all of our lives, a glorious mother and grandmother!
Long time attorney, supporter and friend to this family, John Lockridge. He has been there every step of the way throughout James's life.
Chancellor Fansler stated that this was the most gratifying thing he had done in 17 years.
I am blessed to have such a wonderful Mother in law and friend! I cannot stop the tears. The love of my life can now really say, "That's my mom!"
