“This is a rare moment and occasion that we’ve been working for for
almost 10 years,” Chief Justice Johns said. “That we would come
collaboratively with the state and the Tribe to do the adoptions and to
work with families and children through the [Florida Department of
Children and Families]. This is our very first. It’s a moment that we’re
going to all treasure.”
Chief Justice Johns congratulated the Jumpers on their latest addition to the family.
