In our state any child over the age 11 has to stand before the judge and verbally give consent to their adoption. Not only that, she signed over her own rights from a child in DHS custody into the daughter of the Perryman's. She then gave consent to change her name. Karrington Keane Hope Perryman will now have a new birth certificate, family support and love, forever.

And just so you can see the difference a year makes next to one another...
The old has gone, six years in foster care.
The new has come, a forever family.
Praise be to the Lord Most High.
The Perryman 5- officially!
