Little Boy's Entire Kindergarten Class Shows Up To Support Him During His Adoption Hearing

Little Boy's Entire Kindergarten Class Shows Up To Support Him During His Adoption Hearing

Every once in awhile a story so heartwarming shows up in your newsfeed to give you a refreshing break from these crazy times.

This is one of those stories—about a five year old boy whose entire kindergarten class came to support he and his family at an adoption hearing.


Michael's entire class came to support he and his foster (now adoptive) parents.

They were waving giant red and pink hearts on wooden sticks.

Michael's foster parents fostered him for over a year before deciding they wanted to welcome the boy permanently into their home.

After being married for over ten years and having no children of their own, they decided to take in Michael and fell in love with him quickly.





"We didn't have any kids prior to that, and things got pretty chaotic in a hurry," said the boy's father, of Michael's arrival into their home.

Michael told the courtroom that he "love(s) his mommy," but that his classmates are his family too.

His parents say that they are amazed with how many friends the boy has, and that he is constantly being welcomed into friends' houses for playdates.





Michael's teacher, Mrs. McKee, set up an entire field trip so that Michael's friends could support him.

And once they were there, they played a key role in Michael's hearing. The judge asked each of the kids to stand up and say what Michael meant to them.

And she says they offered the most touching answers.

"I love Michael."
"Michael is my best friend."





The judge, after granting the adoption, said it was the first time her courtroom had ever played host to an entire kindergarten class.

We wish all the best to Michael and his new family.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
