Successful adoptions with Christina T. Sherman, PLLC

National adoption day 2021
National Adoption Day 2021 was very special! Carlos was one of only two children in Washington State to have an in-person adoption for National Adoption Day. Adoptive parents Tim and Bree were able to make their dreams come true and their family complete by adopting Carlos. Their family and friends were able to join them in the courtroom in person and via Zoom for their special day! Our law firm is so grateful to have had the opportunity to be a part of Carlos’ incredible adoption journey.

The Blackmore family
The Blackmore family has loved and cared for “Z” his entire life. Z was placed with the Blackmore family as an infant through the foster care system. It was their truest hope to adopt Z. However, for a long time the Blackmores did not know whether or not they would be able to be Z’s forever family. On this wonderful day, Z finally and forever joined the Blackmore family as their son. Their joy was uncontainable!

The Webber family
It is the rare client that could be described as “frequent fliers” with Christina T. Sherman, PLLC. The Webber family are those people; adopting 4 children: Zariah, Emilee, Benny, and Serenity in four separate adoptions. Their friend, Loriann, also adopted Zariah’s sister Harley. Christina represented the Webbers and Loriann in all five adoptions. The photo was taken after Serenity, the youngest child, was adopted. It is a true gift to represent such generous clients!

Harley’s adoption
Sometimes dreams really do come true in the courtroom. When 5-year old Harley came to her adoption, she was so grateful she asked if she could read the judge a letter. He, of course, agreed, and Harley took the opportunity to tell the judge how happy she was to get to be with her mom forever. She also was really excited about her adoption party! There was not a dry eye in the courtroom on Harely’s adoption day.

Cathryn’s adoption
Good things come to those who wait. Cathryn received her adoption from her stepfather Damian as a birthday present from her mom, Devon — 2 days after she turned 18! It was delightful to help this lovely family legally formalize their long time father-daughter relationship.

Fabian’s adoption
It was a wonderful day when I was able to help ElvyMae and her lovely son Fabian finalize their adoption! Fabian was excited to go to court so he could get his passport, which he needed to visit his overseas grandfather for the first time! Fabian was born in Iowa, had a birth mother in Saipan, a birth father in Texas, and was being adopted in Washington — it was a truly interstate adoption!

Grandchildren’s adoption
Connie and Eddie had been raising their 4 beautiful grandchildren, Jasiah, Keyana, Alice, and Jamila, for nearly the children’s whole lives. It was a special moment when we were able to finalize their adoption — and have the court legally recognize the family they have been for years. Goes to show you — from infants to teenagers — everyone loves an adoption bear!
