It was a day filled with Disney princesses, face painting and goody bags, but Alicia Turner was most excited when the Judge officially made her the mom of Desiree and Precious.

On November 20th, at the Kings County Family Court, over 60 adoptions were finalized and the Turner family was one of them.

“This morning I had an anxiety attack. This has been four-and-a-half years in the making,” said Alicia.

Desiree, age 7, is a go-getter, adventurous and loves to take chances. Precious, age 5, is always willing to share a smile with someone and can to talk to anyone who will lend her an ear.

Typical days with the Turner family can be described as jam packed with activities. Both girls are out of the house by 7am for school and on weekends, the family is actively involved in church activities. They always find time for fun activities.

The girls enjoy trips to the zoo, Botanical Gardens and plane rides to visit family members.

Prior to leaving the court house and heading into a new chapter, Alicia left final words for people who are considering adoption.

“Think hard and long, but not too long. It’s actually a rewarding feeling to change someone’s life.”
