They had been waiting SO long for this moment (not just the 12 hours), and it was the most beautiful thing to witness. When she grows up, Ethel will be able to watch this film and be reminded of how wanted and loved she is.” Videographer Alyssa Kellert Photo + Film Related Stories Adoption This viral video shows the beauty of adoption-and will make you 😭 Baby Shopping Guide 12 baby memory books that you’ll actually fill out Birth 18 emotional photos of partners meeting their baby for the first time 😭 Categories: This Is Birth, Adopt & Foster & Surrogacy, Adoption, Parenting, Relationships, Video Related articles News Joss Stone is shocked to find out she’s pregnant—weeks after adopting a baby boy January 2, 2025 News Mom thought her toddler was playing quietly—then he did the ‘unthinkable’ February 11, 2025 Postpartum This viral text is changing how we support moms who just had a baby February 4, 2025 News Breastfeeding is a full-time job—and this viral TikTok gets it January 30, 2025 News ‘This is equal custody’: Viral video captures heartbreaking co-parenting moment January 28, 2025
