Montgomery County Children Services hit a milestone Friday when they had their 100th adoption of 2018.
Megan and Josh Farnham adopted Samuel today. He’s been in the county’s care since he was two-days-old.
“I always tell people this is one of the hardest things that we have ever done, but by far the most rewarding. I mean he is completely worth it,” said Megan Farnham.
The county has averaged about 85 adoptions in the last five years but hasn’t reached 100 adoptions since 2007.
