Every child deserves a family, a family to take care of them and to love them. That’s why adoption has become an option for couples who can’t bear a child or a family who wants to add more members.

In the United States, adoption is the process of officially forming a parent-child relationship between a child and a person or couple who aren’t the biological birth parents.

According to Wikipedia, about two million Americans are adopted, about 150,000 adoptions happen every year, and that includes about 50,000 foster-care adoptions. Adoption makes it possible for children to have their chance of having a family to grow up in. It’s a beautiful act of pure love.

The Pruitt family was waiting for the 7th member of their family.

Shane Pruitt and his wife Kasi Pruitt from Rowlett, Texas were working on adopting another child to add to their growing family.

Their biological daughters, Raygen and Harper Pruitt knew it all along and they were ecstatic to wake up every day with hopes of welcoming their new sibling.

“They would ask all the time, ‘Have you gotten a call? When is our brother or sister coming home?’” Shane told ABC News. “And they definitely wanted a sister.”

They also got two more adopted handsome brothers, Titus and Elliot. The new adopted sibling that their parents were working on would be the Pruitt’s third adopted child.

And they received a call on July 25th, 2017, that they all had been waiting for.

The Pruitt’s got a call about the adoption status. They were told that a newborn girl was going to be their newly adopted daughter. A piece of good news for everyone, especially for Raygen and Harper.

They were also informed that they could already pick their new daughter the next morning and bring her home. And so they did.

The next day, they left home in the early morning while their children were deeply sleeping.

They didn’t tell their children yet about the good news, just in case something out of hand happens.

Fortunately, everything went smooth as silk and the couple returned in no time. Before entering their home, they decided to record everything, especially their daughter’s reactions.

They had no idea of what’s about to happen next.

When the camera started rolling, they then went inside with Kasi carrying their new daughter.

Harper immediately screamed:

“Are you kidding me?”

On the other hand, Raygen was shocked by the beautiful sight.

She then burst into tears, right there, and then we can tell that she instantly felt love with her new baby sister.

Their reactions proved that a “family” doesn’t always need to be blood-related.

To these two sweet girls, it’s all about acceptance, respect, care, and genuine love.

Shane posted the emotional surprise video on his Twitter account.

People seemed to love the video showing the priceless reactions of the two little girls – because it gained 1.4 million views!

Adoption is a choice – a tough choice to be made. But this tough choice, sometimes, doesn’t need much reckoning, it only needs love. Wouldn’t you agree?

This story of the Pruitts only proves that blood isn’t always thicker than water, and their family of 7 is a perfect example of this.

In fact, a website listed down some of the most famous adoptive parents. To name a few, there’s Tom Cruise, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Nicole Kidman, and Sandra Bullock.

Did you also know that former U.S. President Bill Clinton is an adopted child? In addition to this famous list, Oprah Winfrey, and Bruce Willis are written as adoption advocates.

Make sure to watch the priceless reaction of Raygen and Harper in the video below.
