5-year-old moves adoption court to tears: ‘I love my mom so much and she’s the best mom I ever had
Adoption is a beautiful process that binds families and provides vulnerable children the protection and love of having a home. Every year, more than 250,000 children are placed into foster care and that comes with its set of challenges. Not every child gets adopted or is able to find a loving and caring home. However, this 5-year-old is among the lucky ones and was recently adopted by a family in Bernalillo, New Mexico. Moreover, he had some sweet and moving words to describe his new mother and it was all caught on video, reports USA TODAY. The video shows that the judge in the courtroom asked if anyone wanted to speak up and the boy wanted to say a few words about his adoptive mother, Jennifer Hubby.
The boy said, “I wanted to say that I love my mom so much and she’s the best mom I ever had.” Hearing these words Hubby got emotional and the boy reached to give her a beautiful hug. Everyone was moved by these words spoken by the little boy and even the judge had a beautiful reaction. The judge said, “Oh My gosh. Well, you know what. It’s important to tell people you love them and that they care about you. So, you’re a lucky guy.” She further added, “I am glad you love them. That’s what we’re supposed to be doing. It’s a good thing.”
The judge then proceeds to walk to the boy and his mother for their final signatures. After getting the final documents, the judge congratulates the mother. Hubby claims she wanted to adopt the child since he was born. Her family was finally able to make it happen after years of saving up for the expenditures of the lengthy legal adoption process.

Music is the universal language that connects souls from across the world. Even if people have different personalities, lifestyles and cultures, music has the power to bring them together, kick-starting beautiful friendships or relationships between them. Last October, the story of a blooming friendship between two men who shared their love for music garnered appreciation on the internet. Dr. Luis Mendez is a dentist in Rochester, New York who has a passion for playing piano and for that, he loves to play the instrument in the lobby of Wilmot Cancer Institute, as per ABC-affiliate 13 WHAM. Little did he know that one of his performances would turn out to be so rewarding.
Hailing from Mexico, Mendez moved to New York to train as a dentist at the University of Rochester Medical Center. He was always driven to help out people and his dental health care service was his channel to offer that help. Mendez’s ardent love for playing piano began when was 12 years old and it still excited him. So, when he moved to the U.S. he was worried about not being able to bring his piano from Mexico. However, the Wilmot Cancer Center lobby became his holy grail because of the grand piano it boasted of. He would often practice in the lobby to his heart’s content.
One fine day, Mendez’s performance moved a cancer patient to tears. Harley Bowman came with his wife to the cancer center and his meeting with a doctor went very long. After his wife, who was also a cancer patient, left, Bowman just sat back in the lobby pondering over his situation. “I was sitting here in this huge lobby and I had a lot of things on my mind. It was a very emotional and trying time,” Bowman told the news channel. That is when he saw Mendez, who was in his scrubs, playing a beautiful piece that felt soothing to Bowman. Approaching the dentist, Bowman said with a sigh of relief, “Boy, I needed that.” Mendez noticed that the old man was in tears and eventually, he was moved to tears too.
