In a packed courtroom, Polk County celebrated the graduation of Kammi Murray and her fiancé, Jordan Hoover, from the Family Recovery Court program. The couple’s 11-month-old daughter, Harlie, was returned to their custody after they completed the program, which helps parents become sober and stable enough to care for their children.

Overcoming Struggles

Murray and Hoover’s journey to recovery was not easy. They had struggled with substance use and had previously lost custody of their children. However, with the help of the Family Recovery Court program, they were able to overcome their struggles and become stable, capable parents.

The program brings together caseworkers, court staff, Department of Human Services workers, and service providers to support parents in their recovery. The couple worked closely with their caseworker, Cody Gibney, who became a key figure in their journey to recovery.

A New Beginning

Today, Murray and Hoover are proud parents to their 11-month-old daughter, Harlie. They have their own apartment in Dallas, paid for with the help of a Section 8 housing voucher. The couple’s graduation from the Family Recovery Court program marks a new beginning for their family, one that is filled with hope and promise.

The ceremony was attended by around 70 people, including family members, friends, and the people who had supported the couple throughout their journey. The event was a celebration of the couple’s hard work and determination to become better parents.
