An adoption journey: Watch this husband and wife finally become parents after a seven-year journey.

“We waited over 12 hours at the hospital and as soon as Ethel was born, Rob and Sarah got to hold her and do skin to skin immediately. 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
