Judge Tom

Dear Devin: It’s very nice to hear from you. Unfortunately, I don’t recall the adoption hearing due to the fact that I presided over a thousand adoptions in my 23 years with the court. However, I felt each one I had the honor of finalizing was special to all involved. I hope your life over the past fifteen years has been rewarding.
I retired from the court in 2008 and have no access to the court’s records. You can contact the juvenile court yourself and ask for information about the adoption file and its contents. Another option is to contact Arizona’s Confidential Intermediary Program at the Supreme Court and inquire there.

All the best to you and your endeavors.
I deleted your phone number from your post to protect your privacy.
