THE SISTERS WERE SHOCKED

"Are you kidding me?" asked a stunned little girl in 2017. She had just laid eyes on a baby and had no idea what was happening.

Her older sister was also shocked and burst into tears as she asked their mom for an explanation. The girls didn't know their parents were bringing home a new sibling, and the surprise left them in awe.

THE PARENTS PLANNED TO EXPAND THEIR FAMILY

However, the Texas couple still had love to give. They planned to expand their family via adoption again and were in touch with an agency.

THE ADOPTION HAPPENED RAPIDLY

When Shane and Kasi Pruitt learned there might be a baby girl placed in their care, they were excited. However, they never anticipated the adoption to take place so rapidly.

Shane explained:

"We got a call on Tuesday night about this possibility. We met with our lawyer and the birth mom at 8 a.m. [the next day]. It was very fast and we didn’t have a chance to talk to our kids about it."

In the now-viral clip, the father shared:

"We've had a crazy morning. We wanted to introduce you to our baby daughter. Our kids have no clue. We wanted to share this with you."

ANOTHER COUPLE SURPRISED THEIR KIDS WITH A BABY

The Pruitt couple were not the only ones to surprise their kids with a new baby. In 2015, Courtney and her husband Steve told their three young kids they had a joint present under the Christmas tree.

Chloe, Emma, and Maci raced to see what was waiting for them, but it was unlike anything they could imagine and the best gift they had ever received. It was a three-day-old baby boy named Nathan.

Their parents brought him home without informing the kids that they were gaining a new brother—the precious gift made for an unforgettable Christmas.

ADOPTION BROUGHT THEM UNPARALLELED JOY

Gaining a new member of the family is always exciting, and evidently, it is even more thrilling when it comes as a surprise. Today's stories display the beauty of adoption.

They showcased that while adoption changes a child's life, it also brings unparalleled joy into the places that become their forever homes.
