The Jackson County Court celebrated Michigan Adoption Day on Nov. 18, with the Hon. Richard N. LaFlamme, Hon. Diane M. Rappleye, and Chief Judge of Claims Michael Talbot presiding over the adoptions of three local families. The theme of the celebration was “Giving Thanks for Families.” This is Michigan’s 14th year celebrating Adoption Day, with 30 or more counties participating annually, making it one of the largest celebrations in the nation.
