Montgomery County Children Services has 100th adoption

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.
