At an attorney's table on Saturday afternoon in a small west Phoenix courtroom, more than 100 kids were given new families.
At an attorney's table on Saturday afternoon in a small west Phoenix courtroom, 6-year-old Isaiah patiently waited to take on his new last name.
Sporting a faux hawk and metal chain, Isaiah would now be a Jones-Robertson. The clan has nine children in total, including five the Chandler couple previously adopted. " provide these children with stability and permanency in a home that is safe and able to meet their needs. A lot of these children are coming from homes with instability because of drugs or abuse or significant neglect, and almost all have suffered some form of trauma because of that," Brooks said.
Jones and Robertson's adoption attorney, Kathryn Pidgeon, 66, has done close to 4,000 adoptions in 33 years and has taken part in the county event since 2001. The in-person event was on a pandemic pause in 2020 and 2021, being done through videoconferencing in Maricopa County, Pidgeon said. But adoptions never ceased.Outside the court center building, families mingled in between tents and balloons as some children climbed an inflatable slide while a DJ played pop hits in the background.
