The boy identified as Michael Orlando Clark Jr had been living with David Eaton and Andrea Melvin as a foster child since November 2018, noted CNN. “We didn't have any kids prior to that, and things got pretty chaotic in a hurry,” Eaton was quoted in the same report. Kent County Courthouse marked its 23rd annual Adoption Day, and Michael’s adoption was one of the 36 finalised adoptions that took place on the day, December 5, 2019. Eaton further reported that when he asked the 5-year-old to invite his friends to the hearing, he happily agreed as the little boy says they are like family.
Ken County officials recorded the moment of the adoption hearing on their Facebook page, which has since gone viral. Michael’s teacher, Kerry McKee at Wealthy Elementary School, brought the kindergartners to the hearing to teach them about adoption and also support their classmate.

The judge said that in her entire 22 years, she’d never had a class come to witness an adoption.

During the hearing, when the judge asked everyone in the room to say what Michael means to them. One of them reportedly said, “I love Michael,” while another said, “Michael’s my best friend.” Sure he is! This is one such story which just makes your day. All the blues could be shed away, when you see the happiness of the family and the kids who showered their love and support to Michael.
