Entire Courtroom Dresses As Disney Characters For 5-Year-Old Girl’s Adoption Hearing
Courtrooms are rarely fun places. Or so I imagine. But for five-year-old Danielle Koning, the courtroom just became the most awesome place ever. Because when she arrived for her adoption hearing, she didn’t find a room full of stuffy people wearing stale suits and stern expressions. She found a room full of Disney princesses.
The lucky little girl from Grand Rapids, Michigan had been living with her foster parents Sarah and Jim Koning since 2014, and last week the family attended their final court hearing to adopt Danielle and another little girl. To make the day as special as possible, her foster care worker came up with the idea to dress everybody as characters from Disney movies. And as you can see, the result is pretty special indeed. Even the judge got involved!
Laura Mitchell, executive director for Samaritas Foster Care Program, told ABC News: “It’s obviously a very meaningful day. The hearing is definitely a celebration that the kids now have forever families. And it shows the love and compassion that our case workers have.”

Share on FacebookDanielle and "another little girl" were adopted. What's the deal with that?
the other little girl is obviously too young to really understand what the hell is going on, and it is Danielle who is very much into princesses (I mean, look at the outfit she picked!). Why see something bad in this cute story? Just be happy for this family.
Load More Replies...This is everything. What a fantastic day that must have been for those kiddos, and everyone who got to participate. We need more of this.
This is absolutely adorable! What spoils this article are some of the comments below, in particular the remarks about the other little girl and the fact she has a different skin color. What difference does this make? The new parents clearly didn't want their youngest daughter to be named on this article or the Internet until she was old enough to understand what it meant and have a choice. We would all respect that...
I am writing this review to tell the entire world how i adopted a child from a Center known as child_adoption@aol.com that i met Online, I was directed to this Adoptive Center by a friend of mine that claimed she adopted a child from them, When i contacted this Center, I was given all the requirements in adopting a baby and after following the due process, The baby in question that i need to adopt was given out to me to mother. I am so happy that i finally had a baby girl that i can call My daughter and she can call me Mother. I adopted this baby because i am suffering from Cancer and My Doctor told me i can't give birth. I will continuing sharing this testimony of mine and let the world know that there is a legit baby center out here where you can adopt a child. For contact and counselling, You can contact the adoptive Center on: child_adoption@aol.com website: childadoptioncernter.webs.com
Would you have preferred decorum or costumes, when you were FIVE YEARS OLD? The day was about the little girl, not some party pooper like you!
