Judge Adams, age 40, is married to Dwayne Adams, a lawyer. They have two children, Isabella, age 9, and Alexander, age 4. Despite the demands of her profession and having two young children, Judge Adams has given back so much to her high school, community and profession by, for example, serving as a host in the Atlanta Bar Association Summer Law Internship Program which gave her a start on her legal career.
Judge Adams was delighted to be joined at her swearing in on February 13, 2017, by several fellow graduates of Therrell who also interned in the Atlanta Bar Association Summer Law Internship Program and then became attorneys: Claude Davis( Therrell’ 95); Rhea Smith Johnson( Therrell’ 96); Nekia Hackworth Jones( Therrell’ 95); and Darius Pattillo( Therrell’ 95).

Judge Adams, the Atlanta Bar Association congratulates you on becoming a Judge on the Douglas County Superior Court! We are so very proud of you. ▪
