About 70 families took part in San Bernardino County's 24th Annual Adoption Finalization celebration at the Ontario Convention Center.
Little Taylor Morrison was unaware as she sat and had her face painted that her life was about to change forever."It's a feeling I can't even explain," Taylor's mother Yvette Morrison said. "The love is unconditional. These little guys just look up to you, and it is just an amazing feeling."
Morrison is not new to the adoption process, which can often times include years of court dates and foster care. "I wasn't able to have kids of my own and thought that my calling was to help kids in need," Morrison said. "I was very very fortunate to be able to adopt my first son who is four now.""We're always looking for families to even just try it, maybe just as a foster parent and then possibly adoption," Children and Family Services San Bernardino County Director Jeany Zepeda said.
At the appointed times, families gathered in makeshift courtrooms as a judge finalized their adoption papers. For 106 children, the day marked the end of a long -- and sometimes complicated -- foster care journey and the beginning of a new permanent chapter.SoCal teacher allegedly leaves class after student wears MAGA shirt
