Earlier this week, the Montgomery-Brown family attended court so they could formally adopt their son Michael.
The three-year-old has been living with the family in Arizona since February 2015. He'd already been with two other foster families after being separated from his birth mother and had spent a total of 832 days in foster care.
He was so excited about finally being adopted that he couldn't wait to tell everyone in the courthouse his good news, according to BuzzFeed.
Outside, he posed for photos with his sisters Dezhianna and Jordae.

Michael's adoptive mother Tara Montgomery told the Huffington Postshe hopes the joy on Michael's face will convince other families to adopt.
If this can inspire just one person to make a difference in the life of a child, we are happy.
