“Okay, I have here a properly filed petition for the adoption of the child. Also based on the testimony and the report that I have from the Division of Youth and Family Services, which recommends the finalization of the adoption, I will enter a judgment of adoption today. This will establish the same relationship between the children and the adopting parents as if the child had been born to the adopting parents.” The Judge set her paperwork to the side and beamed at the new family. “Congratulations.”
Dylan hugged Tyson close to him, wrapping his arms around the boy and Bonnie. Bonnie’s heart felt like it was going to burst with joy. She thought the joy she’d felt at her wedding was too great to bear. This was more. Every fiber of her being was beyond joyful.
They were a family.
Dylan kissed her cheek, and she held her two boys closer to her.
The love that they shared would go on forever. It was an endless kind of love.
