Forty families and 56 children celebrated adoptions at the 11th annual Adoption Finalization Day Saturday at the Riverside Historic Courthouse.
Judith Clark, Riverside Superior Court juvenile presiding judge, said in a news release that the court was honored to participate in an event that "shows the strong commitment of community members, and witnesses the joy experienced by joining parents and children together as a new family.”
The ceremony is also intended to spotlight the role Riverside County plays in helping find homes for hundreds of children each year. More than 100 foster children await permanent adoptive homes in the county on any given day, according to Riverside County.
