\nTwo male couples were among 22 new families whose adoptions of 31 children were given final approval during the 32nd annual Adoption Day ceremony at the D.C. Superior Courthouse.<\/p>\n
Attending the event were Whitney Miller, his husband, physician Dwight Miller, and their newly adopted 5-year-old son Cory.<\/p>\n
“I\u2019m just overwhelmed with joy and with love that this day is finally here and that we are finally an officially legal family,” Whitney Miller told the Washington Blade<\/a>.<\/p>\n The couple has had custody of Cory as foster parents since he was two weeks old. “We\u2019re very excited about this,” he said. “And we hope that by us being a same-sex couple that we can spur on and at least give hope to a lot of other same-sex couples in D.C. that are interested in adopting or potentially in foster care in D.C.”<\/p>\n Among those participating in this year\u2019s event were D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, who brought her recently adopted nine-month-old daughter Miranda.<\/p>\n
