27 Families in an hour and a half.....

Friday November 16th was National Adoption Day and I was asked to photograph some of the families completing their adoption process on this special day. What a whirlwind of activity and emotions! A collaborative event organized by the Massachusetts Department of Social Services, MARE (Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange) and the Juvenile Court Dept. & Probate and Family Court Dept. of the MA Trial Court, courthouses throughout MA were the scene of over 400 adoptions in one day.

I was pleased to offer this family portrait service to 27 families at the Brockton Trial courthouse. Here a few of the happy groups.
Thanks to my great assistants Ann and Catherine who kept me organized!
