Although six-year-old Joshua enjoyed a number of summer activities, including riding his bike, visiting the zoo, and splashing down the hill on his Slip’N Slide, it was this special day in June that he says was his “most favorite memory of all.” This photo captures the moment that Joshua’s mom and dad officially adopted him and he changed his last name to theirs. “I’ve never had a family before,” he tells us, “but now I have a mommy and daddy [who] love me very much.”
