Michael Clark Jr. had crowd of supporters at his adoption hearing this week, which included his kindergarten classmates from Wealthy Elementary in East Grand Rapids.Michael Clark Jr., from East Grand Rapids, Michigan, was so excited about hisIn a packed courtroom on Thursday, Michael’s classmates filled up the first rows of seats in the Kent County courtroom and even gave sweet testimonies about how much they love their fellow friend.
On social media, Michael’s story warmed the hearts of many. A picture shared on Kent County, Michigan’s page of Michael with his kindergarten class seated behind him in the courthouse on Facebook was shared more than 90,000 times. "I love my daddy," said Michael as he interrupted an interview with his adoptive father, Dave Eaton."I love my daddy so much."
Beautiful....I hope to be in a position to adopt a child someday. God willing.
Dam this got me lol
Why did they do it? Are people of color adopting white children? Are there benefits available for those who adopt? What do they get out of it? After his outbursts- he shoots a threatening glance around. Already, it seems like he doesn't need anyone talking about what he's doing.
That's so beautiful
What a blessing for this family, many children grow up in orphanages without who adopts them, there are even families who decide to call a dog 'children', I love what happens in this act of love
I'm so glad he is a happy child.
I'm not crying. YOU'RE crying.
My heart ❤️.... 😍
❤️
Such a cutie.
😍😍😍🥰🥰
He is sooo precious! 💗 I'm so happy for him.
It's a nice outcome
💙💙
What kind of modern day slave trade process is this WTF
36 students in one class?!
'Its a terrible day for rain'
Love this❤️❤️❤️
Cant get enough of this story! ♡♡♡ (P.S. 36 kids in his class?! Yikes... That seems like a LOT!)
All the best Michael!
So wonderful for him God Bless him & those family classmates with their hearts 💕 & now he will have a wonderful life with his beautiful family 🙏🎄♥️👏👏
I get choked up every time I watch this video. God Bless this very special little boy.
Wow this is good
❤❤❤❤❤
This is so beautiful!!!! As a mother and a teacher, my heart just melted!!!!
This is a very important day! Happy “Gotcha-Day” Look how happy he is!
“And I love you daddy.” I’m in tears with joy. May they have the best life ever.
This is so awesome
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
this just too cute
Adoptive parents are literally Hero’s! R.I.P to my Hero... 1st Xmas without him 😥
Spoil him but not too much.
AWESOME
Heartwarming. What a beautiful family. 🤗
What a hamm!!! So cute and so happy for him adopt
❤️
I wish I was in the position to be able to adopt. Makes me heart swell when good people open their hearts for a child who just needs a family. Just what I needed to see after all the 💩 on Twitter this morning 🌈♥️
Shout GRAND RAPIDS MICHIGAN !!!
Definitely heart-warming
Wonderful ❤️
♥️♥️♥️!
tammy_maga God bless......
This is beautiful 🥺
This has to be the best story I’ve read in awhile. As a former teacher who taught in a low income area with many foster children, I always knew I wanted to adopt, and I ended up adopting two of my own. It’s a beautiful & unique journey to creating a family. This boy made my day!
Love you Michael it’s touching❤️
Wow...what? I’m not crying, you’re crying
Just make me cry tears of love 💕💗💕
I am ready for it
LOVE THIS!!! What a great heartwarming story this is 💚💙💚💙💚
And he loves his daddy so much 😭😭😭😭
hold on a minute while i cry
'I love my daddy' Me:
empowerment via familial bonding. Congratulations and best wishes, Michael. ittakesavillage BlackPsychiatry

ilakster To the confused Trump supporters watching this video: This is what normal human relationships are supposed to be like.

damartin32 good luck kid
What a wonderful story in a world full of sad news!! Made me cry tears of happiness. GOD LOVE YOU ALL!!!!
sweetness aside.... while putting a pin in the likelihood his teen mom is back on the streets having surrendered him for adoption, is anyone concerned about THIRTY SIX children in a kindergarten classroom?
This is so so sweet. Brought tears to my eyes
Who's peeling onions in here? 😢😢😢😍😍😍
Wait... 36 students in a kindergarten? Great story for Michael, but can we talk about the failing education policy here
brokenarmed man we gotta adopt 😭
He couldn’t be more adorable! OMG this is so beautiful
MY HEART
❤️❤️❤️
How wonderful is this for this little boy.
Wow ❤️❤️❤️ what a beauty 🙏💖
Beautiful!
That's adorable. Can we also talk about the insanity of 36 kids in a kindergarten class?

They are so blessed to have each other!
Between his love for his dad and his classmates supporting him with little love banners waved in the court, this needs a top rank amongst twitter posts. We need more stories like these.
This one got me crying right away

This is the best
That’s too big of a class. How do they learn at one pace ?
nerdbergermedia this is the most beautiful thing ever ❤️😭

This is a great story! Hope that the adopted parents also shows him the realities that he will face as well as teach him about his ancestry!
Beautiful! The world needs more of this
This is a GREAT story! We need more of this!
Children aren’t born with hate....it’s the “adults” who do that. Look to the children. They really do have all the answers.
❤️😭Congratulations to all the families! I also love the judges beautiful, kid approved gems around her neck.
Awesome!

There are no words! ❤️
SoulFlyTry
Adoption is an incredible thing. This is the purest demonstration of love. A mother who brought this child into the world with love. And a family who vows to love him forever. We need more of this kind of news.
As I sit here rocking my baby and feeding him to sleep.. this video.. omg .. brought me to tears!!! ❤
I am so happy for you Michael!!!

Ohmygoodness! He is quite possibly the cutest kiddo I’ve ever seen! That smile! He’s so sweet! We need more of this! My heart!
What a heartwarming story am crying too 😭😇
ChloeMorello This is too much for my heart 😭😭🥺
Aww ❤️ This is awesome!!!
The headline is wrong. 36 is the number of children adopted on that day. Did you actually read the article before posting it?
Wow this brought tears to my eyes 🥺❤️
❤️
AWWWWWW
This.... omggg ☹️😭🤧
This is so adorable 😍😍😍
Oh this is awesome. Love stories like this one.
greta This was made possible by the Newt Gingrich GOP lead congress which made it easier for white parents to adopt African American Children! Bet you never see that in the reporting!!!!
Man this is awesome.
You could not sskfor a more heartwarming story than this! There is hood in this world
Dorothy1240 I love that this is still able to happen in our country in spite of everything and everyone who is trying their damndest to destroy this possibility. It is proof we can and gives me hope that we will survive one of the ugliest chapters and corrupt administrations in our history
Thank you twitter for a fuckinv gold Twitter moment This is wholesome
I refuse to let a brotha fall into the hands of the white folk
We need so much more of this! Love! ❤❤❤❤❤ He and his family are beautiful! I'm so emotional. 😥🥰🙂😀😘🤩🧡💛💚💖💝
TheEllenShow
1. He is adorable & I’m so happy for him. 2. OMG, there are 36! Kids in his kindergarten class?!!!!! Holy crap! That teacher deserves extra pay! That is an insane amount of kids!
Anyone else watching this by themselves and CRY ING, then showing it to someone else and just giggle with joy?
Y'all didn't have to make me cry like that
😭😭
So cute and sweet!!
IrmaRaste McKinsey
36!!! Kindergarteners!!! ewarren Glad everyone could join, but that is an overcrowded classroom, ClassSizeMatters Three words that can truly be an entire education platform!! From Special Ed to Early Education through HS. Give trained teachers a fighting chance!!!
JoshuaHosler Cutest kid !
❤
This is so adorable😭❤️
This is truly a down to earth heart warming story.
Awesome Boy !!
Made my day
hopeb4change THIRTY-SIX students in a Kindergarten class!! Teachers out there reading this are all saying, WTH!! That’s an impossible ask!! That school district needs help...STAT!!!
i’m CRYING
Who’s cutting onions 😭
This right here man
So precious. ❤️
Cute
Adorable ❤️❤️
greta ❤️
That's so cute, he wanted to share his special moment with his class
I love this so much. I always dreamed of adopting, but am not able to for medical reasons. If you are, please consider giving a child a forever home. If you dream of having children, just imagine how many children dream of having a family. Too many kids in this world have no one.
What a beautiful boy, when I was adopted I was extremely excited too, I only hope that unlike my adoptive parents that his parents stay together always and don't split the home and the heart. Good luck Michael, it's going to be amazing for you either way ❤
This makes me smile☺️
;)
Mathieu_Era 💓
His “forever home” ? That’s what they say when u adopt a dog at the animal shelter .... umm
🥳🥰👪
Sooooo sweet
Omg 😭😭 I cant
Sometimes I'm actually still amazed by the misogyny of privileged white 'progressive' men who feel utterly entitled to lecture all women & turn a little boy's happiness into a way to trash the woman who adopted the little guy. Here's a gem:
This is the best example of what the world needs compassion, joy, acceptance, brotherhood, health, happiness, sisterhood like lotion on dry skin one for all/ all for 1
greta Such a sweet little smile from this little guy
We need more news like this. It helps to balance out the bad stuff we see all day every day.
desmcpeek
he is so precious and happy
I love my daddy made me cry... Now we out here.
That judge is really awful but yea cool story
The meaning of love is when you show it not when you express it. This is amazing. God bless this kid.
The world needs more happy stories like this one! ❤️🙌❤️

Good lord there aren’t 36 kids in the class, there were 36 children adopted during the Kent County adoption day! Come on guys, fact checking.
i love this. i really hope he is raised around people of his own race too. 3

That's amazing, so happy for him. But super sad to see 36 kids in a kindergarten class😭
LilyEPloski Can we talk about how loving and precious this is... and be outraged that a K classroom has 36 students in it.
He is such an adorable little man and he is going to be one heck of an adult. Just a wonderful story!
DenverChannel This is such a goody that it blows me away. It isn't as if I haven't been around long enough to know the difference. I am 80. I wish them all a 'happy forever after!'
