Crazy Vibes @CrazyVibes_1 - For 14 years, the boy had bounced between foster homes, believing he was unwanted. Today, he stood in court for the last time, and the judge gave him the news that changed his life.
Judge Harrison had seen 14-year-old David's file cross his desk more times than he could count. "Failure to place," "Runaway risk," "Returned from foster home." For the last six months, after running away from a group home, David had been in a juvenile facility, wearing the standard-issue orange uniform.
Today was supposed to be just another placement hearing. David stood before the judge, expecting to be told he was being moved to yet another facility.
"David," Judge Harrison said, looking over his glasses. "I see here you've had a regular visitor for the last six months. A Mr. and Mrs. Gable."
David tensed. The Gables were an older couple who had volunteered as mentors at the facility. They brought him books and just... talked to him. He figured they were just another assignment.
"Well," the judge continued, "it seems they've filed some extensive paperwork." He paused, then took off his glasses.
"David, they're not here today as mentors. They're here to finalize your adoption. This is your last day in the system."
The boy just stared, his mind unable to process the words. "What... what do you mean?"
The judge smiled, his voice thick with emotion. "I mean, you're going home, son. They're waiting outside for you."
It was too much. The 14 years of fear, of loneliness, of believing he was the problem—it all broke at once. David's tough exterior shattered, and he just sobbed, his entire body shaking with a relief so deep it was painful.
The bailiff looked on, unsure what to do. Judge Harrison, seeing a boy not as a case number but as a child finally being saved, stepped down from the bench. He didn't offer a handshake. He just opened his arms.
David collapsed into the hug, clinging to the judge as if he were the only solid thing in the world. This photo, taken by his new mother from the courtroom door, wasn't a moment of judgment. It was the moment a boy finally found out he was loved

The Daily Signal @DailySignal - ‘When You Marry for Love, You Trust God With the Rest:’ Erika Kirk Reflects on Being Charlie’s Wife
When you get married to someone you love, you never know what your future will look like, said Erika Kirk on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime” Wednesday night.
“I knew his life would be important—all of our lives are important—but all I cared about was loving him and being a wife to him. Being a mother to his children. That to me was so much more important. Everything else, I could care less.”
