CPS, Bexar County celebrate February Adoption Day

Family celebrates 8 months with adopted son

SAN ANTONIO – Child Protective Services and Bexar County celebrated February Adoption Day Friday and the placement of 38 children, ranging from 1 to 17 years old, with their forever families.

The Wagner family has adopted three times, and Friday marked eight months with their son, James. 

"The minute he came into our house he was our little boy … We've always referred to him as our son. He's never been our foster son, it's always been our son. It's exciting to get it formalized and get his name changed. So he's officially a Wagner now and he's excited about that," Amber Wagner said.

Some of James' siblings were also at the ceremony and the Wagners said they plan to keep in touch.
