A tear-jerking video shows a little girl sobbing with happiness as she learns that she is going to be adopted on her birthday. Her new mom Paige Zezulka uploaded the clip to Facebook on Friday to announce that she had adopted the girl, as well as her brother and sister. The girl is filmed opening a present, while her soon-to-be adoptive father Daniel, who is sat next to her says ‘I want you to read it.’
She picks up what appears to be a frame, and reads its inscription – ‘I’m going to be adopted’ – moments before being overcome with emotion. The video has been shared more than 63,000 times since Zezulka, of Athens, Ga., shared it on Facebook. Zezulka, who also shared a photo after the adoption was rubber-stamped Friday, explained: ‘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!’
