A 17-year-old from Florida found his forever home with a 60-year-old couple in Connecticut after a recent Zoom adoption ceremony made the family ties official. “They’re amazing parents, so making it official would just be better,” James David Irish, 17, told WTNH. After spending years in foster care, Irish has finally found his adopted home as Theresa McSpedon, and her husband, Scott, become first-time parents at the age of 60. “When I first saw him, I just instantly fell in love with him,” said Theresa. “How could you not fall in love with those gorgeous little curly locks and that face.” The couple met Irish through Theresa’s father, who was Irish’s advocate.
