A big day for families getting bigger do you think about what going on today Judge Melanie Shaw Geter asked during the proceedings. have no idea what is going on today, answered Kaitlyn, of Glenn Dale. Tracey Ivin and Kaitlyn biological mother, Michelle Deilly, who are engaged to be married, were among 10 families who wrapped up their final adoption proceedings in the Upper Marlboro courthouse as part of National Adoption Day. The national event, in its seventh year, is seen as a way to raise awareness about children in foster care. This was the second year Prince George County has participated. makes adoption so unique is not that you are choosing the child, but when the child chooses you, said Kathie Caparratto, a member of the court system Family Division. For some adoptees like Kaitlyn, the courtroom proceedings were a mere formality. For others, it was the start of brand new lives. Sharon Omar and her husband, Omar Ashaka of Fort Washington, had tried to adopt a child since 2001. The bureaucracy of the process and some poor matches slowed them down. It wasn until January that they found a match that would work, they said. Though Sharon Omar was there from the beginning to witness the birth of her now 8 month old daughter, Zora, it was a relief to finally know the baby girl finally was hers. I be nervous, but I was so happy [on November 15], Sharon Omar said. always said if we didn have children of our own we would like to adopt because we know there are so many children without any homes. some parents may argue that the hard part is yet to come, Sharon Omar isn afraid. Having raised several nieces and nephews, she had her share of experience. For her, the most difficult part was waiting to get everything approved. A difficult question in the lives of the children who were adopted last week will be when their parents will tell them that they are adopted. Keisha Williams of Upper Marlboro was adopted as an infant herself. So she plans to tell her 22 month old daughter Skyler as soon as she understands the concept. probably more understanding [than other adoptive parents], and I knew at a young age so I tell her as well, Williams said. Judges and members of the court system praised parents for the choice they made to adopt. Of all the roles the court plays, Judge William D. Missouri said the most significant impact it can have on a community is bringing families together. Families were chosen to participate in the National Adoption Day ceremony based on the status and timing of their cases. At the end of the ceremony the adopted children were presented with teddy bears that had lined the courtroom throughout the proceedings as well as personalized gifts from various associations.
