Today is an especially emotional day for our office.
Many of you know we represented and helped finalize the adoptions of the first four Heckman boys, and after a very long, emotional, and difficult battle through the system… the fifth boy has now officially been adopted, too.
Watching this family continue to fight for these children year after year has been nothing short of incredible. Cases like this remind us why we do what we do. Every child deserves stability, love, safety, and a family that refuses to give up on them.
To the Heckman family — congratulations. Truly. Our hearts are so full for all of you today.
