A long journey

"We had been pursuing the court system for 5 years to gain permanent custody after a long journey I filed for adoption and one year later it was approved. The Judge put in capital letters that it was in Haley’s best interest to be adopted by me her Step-Mom or like she called me Super Mom. This is the second time I have been blessed with an adoption. I am a mother of two amazing girls and couldn’t be prouder of them both.", wrote her mother when she shared this special moment on Youtube.
