On November 11th, 2024, the Kalamazoo County 9th Circuit Court will host an event celebrating the adoption of children who are in need of a forever home. Courtrooms don’t usually feature laughing children, beaming parents, teddy bears or balloons, but on Adoption Day happy families will be seen celebrating along with judges, court staff, and social workers.
The celebration will include adoption proceedings, a professional photographer to take the first official family photo, refreshments, and activities for the children. The Honorable Gary C. Giguere, Jr., Chief Judge for Kalamazoo County, invites the community to come together to celebrate family, as it is the foundation for a strong Kalamazoo community. The event will take place at the Gull Road Justice complex, 1536 Gull Road, Kalamazoo, MI 49048, from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm.
