Final Adoption hearing
What happens at the final adoption hearing? We are waiting on our court date and have had our adoption approved.

Re: Final Adoption hearing
Assuming you have already gotten termination of
parental rights done, etc., the final court hearing
is generally a very pleasant meeting where the judge
merely takes testimony from your social worker that
you are fitting parents and that the adoption is in
the best interests of the child. Most judges schedule
many at the same time and call them in the order
of the youngest child first. That gets the children
most unable to handle the wait out first. Most
judges are willing to pose for a picture with the
new family after the hearing. The court reporters
usually are willing to take the shot! Good luck!
