More than 30 kids from Miami-Dade County now have forever families.

There was a celebration Friday at the Miami Children's Museum to finalize the adoptions. Many people at the event said it was just a legal way of showing the love the foster family already have for their kids.

One family at the event had already gone through the adoption time five times, and they’re inspiring others to adopt.

“All it takes is love, kindness and God,” said Rubie Delaughter King, who is finalizing the adoption of her fifth kid.

Rihanna Nevaeh King, who’s nine months old, is now part of the King family, forever.
