Junior Emma Kolkmeier and her family adopted 6 year old Danny on Dec. 10, 2015. Although Danny just got adopted, he has been living with the Kolkmeier’s since June 26, 2013, when they became an official foster family. In September of 2014 they got legal guardianship. Emma and Danny’s bond has just grown from there. They like to watch movies, play with Play-Doh, and play in his toy kitchen together. Danny also likes to see Emma perform at her guard performances. “My favorite thing about Danny is how sweet he is to everyone and some of the things he says is hilarious,” Emma Kolkmeier said. “He’s really funny.”
