A little girl in the US got the absolute best gift for her birthday, after finding out she was going to be adopted.
Her reaction was captured by her soon-to-be adoptive parents on video and shows the moment the girl cries as she finds out she has a forever family, after years in foster care.
Paige Zezulka, the adoptive mother, shared the sweet moment on Facebook and it has since gone viral with more than 117,000 shares. It has, so far, been viewed more than six million times.
The couple found out they were going to be able to adopt the girl, as well as her brother and sister, just before her birthday so they decided to share the news on the big day.
This will be my favorite video I ever share. This was the day we told our daughter that we were going to be able to adopt her (and her brother and sister)!
She had been praying to be adopted and we found out on her birthday that it was going to happen! So the next day we gave her this surprise box! God's timing was perfect!
Our kids spent 1,128 days in foster care, over 3 years. It is so hard on children to live in such uncertainty.
Adoption is amazing and we want others to know that adopting older children and sibling groups can be the most beautiful adventure you could ever have!
(I do not give permission for anyone to use this video for their own page, website etc. if people want to re-share this original post that is ok.)
