When parents meet their adopted baby for the first time

Just grab the tissues—all of them! You’re going to need them after seeing these photos.

Sarah and David Olsen were hoping to add a third baby to their family—both Sarah’s pregnancies were extremely difficult and she had also suffered from a miscarriage. They were trying to conceive, when they decided they would try adopting a baby.

After almost a year of waiting, they found out a baby girl had been born and she was theirs. The couple hopped on a plane from Minnesota to Florida to meet their new addition—Tilly Pearl.

Their friend, a photographer, captured the beautiful moment when they first set eyes on tiny Tilly.

Are you sobbing, like I am?

I can just imagine her saying, “Hi, Daddy!”

“Oh, hey mom!”

Congrats to the Olsens on their beautiful new addition to the family!
