Tired of all the bad news, political untruths, and border chaos? This is the story for you right now.
The adoption proceeding in a courtroom recently made Jennifer Hubby the legal mother of 5-year-old Cameron. And his words at the end of the proceeding should warm your heart and make you thankful for the bond between a mother and her child.
According to USA Today, Judge Cheryl H. Johnston asked if anyone had any final words at the end of the hearing in Bernalillo, New Mexico. To everyone’s surprise, little Cameron spoke up.
“I wanted to say that I love my mom so much and that’s she the best mom I ever had,” the boy told the judge.
Needless to say, Jennifer couldn’t hold in her emotions, so Cameron put his arms around her to show her his love even more. Milly Davies, a friend of Jennifer’s, caught the whole thing on camera. You can hear her welling up while filming the act of love.
What a beautiful picture of what happens in a loving adoption process.
“I’ll never forget it,” Jennifer told Good Morning America. “The judge asked if we had anything to state for the record, and that’s when we turned the camera on and I said a little something that was really not moving at all. I was just nervous and wanted to see the final decree and Cameron, I think he looked at me and he said, he whispered, ‘Can I say something?'”
What a wonderfully brave thing for a 5-year-old to do.
“He said, ‘I love my mom so much.’ And then I started to cry,” Jennifer recalled. “You can see my head dip. And then he turned to me and held me … it was super emotional. And you can hear people tearing up, and you can hear the judge respond and she goes, ‘Oh, my gosh,’ and then she had her own little words of encouragement for Cameron.”
“Well, you know what. It’s important to tell people you love them and they care about you,” Judge Johnston told Cameron. “And so you’re a lucky guy. I’m glad you love them. That’s what we’re supposed to be doing. It’s a good thing.”
