Eventually, Eva found out that Donny and Miranda had returned home not just as a married couple but as new parents. They broke the news to Eva that she was now a grandmother to their adopted daughter Lily.

Eva’s reaction to the news is priceless, as she sighs in disbelief and in happiness, trying to fathom the big news.

An overwhelmed Eva then holds her new granddaughter with the utmost affection and tries to hold back her tears of joy.

The other Goebs look on as Eva takes a moment to realize her newfound status as a grandmother. She then draws the baby closer to her chest before opening her arms to embrace Donny and Miranda.

According to Babble, Donny and Miranda paid $30,000 towards the adoption of Lily and started a Go Fund Me campaign to raise the necessary funds.

While the couple shared their desire to adopt on social media, the most significant lead was given by one of Donny’s friends in the Air Force.

The adoption procedure took over a month and it was only on December 8, 2015, that Lily officially became the adopted child of the Goebs.

Although Eva knew of the couple’s plans to adopt a child, the timing of the adoption took her by complete surprise. The video of her emotional reaction to seeing baby Lily for the first time went viral, with almost 11 million views on YouTube.
