Dustin and Caren Moore were new parents – in a way. While they didn’t just have a baby, they did just adopt one! They had just taken custody of their 8-day-old baby girl and were getting on a flight back to California. While on the flight, they never expected the response they got from their fellow passengers.

Dustin told the world what happened on his Twitter feed.

He tweeted to his followers:

“It’s been a difficult week. But, rather than publicly air my grievances, I’d like to share w/ you the kindness strangers offered us the day we brought our daughter home. I hope our story uplifts you, and reminds you there is goodness to be had in this world.”

The story started when he and his wife got on a California-bound plane from Colorada. With four bags and a new baby in their arms, they had their hands full!

During the flight, the little girl started getting fussy.

As babies do, the girl got a bit antsy while on the flight. She was a bit uncomfortable and needed a new diaper mid-flight. The new parents were prepared, but a flight attendant saw what was happening and decided to help.

When the attendant saw the situation, she offered them a changing table in the back of the plane as well as some privacy with a screen.

Dustin tells the story in the thread:

“After a change, Jenny and another passenger complimented my beautiful daughter and politely asked what had prompted a flight with such a young infant.

I gave them the shortened adoption story, to which they hastily offered congratulations, and shared a few more kind remarks,” Dustin continued.

When Dustin finished telling the story to the attendant, another one overheard and asked a few questions.

When the second attendant heard their story, it started spreading around like wildfire. Soon enough, something incredible happened:

“Then, we heard the intercom. The attendant Bobby came on and announced a special guest on the flight. Our daughter. ‘She’s just been adopted by her parents Caren and Dustin, and is making her way home.’ The entire cabin erupted in cheers and applause,” Dustin said.

Then, something incredible happened!

The attendant asked the entire plane for help:

“He then shared that the crew would pass out pens and napkins to everyone, and anybody who wanted to share a word of advice or encouragement for our family was welcome to do so. We sat in speechless gratitude, as people kept peeking over their chairs to congratulate us.”

A few moments later, the new parents had 60 napkins packed to the edges with advice!

The crew even decided to share some of the funniest pieces of advice for the entire plane to hear.

Some of the advice was hilarious AND true:

“The crew gathered the napkins, then read a few of their favorites over the intercom.

“Rub each other’s feet, and rub the baby’s feet.”

“Make time for date night.”

“Always tell her you love her.”

“Enjoy every minute. It goes by sooo very fast.”

“Drink lots of wine!””

Dustin shared just how much the event meant to him and his wife.

The couple was in an emotionally tender state, especially after 9 years of trying to have a baby. Now, they were new parents on the receiving end of someone’s kindness.
