It was an absolute honor to photograph Adoption Day at the Daley Center last week. I’m so grateful to Greenlight Family services for inviting me to volunteer in this welcoming space to bear witness to the pure joy and excitement when children, parents, family members, child advocates, social workers and friends convened to make their adoptions official and celebrate their new forever families. Having myself been adopted when I was four years old, seeing these children and families stand in front of a judge while they shared their stories of what brought them to this moment moved me to tears. May these children be surrounded by love, care, safety and guidance as they settle in to their forever homes. Congratulations families and may this be the first of many Thanksgivings for years to come. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
