Video conmovedor: el momento que una nena de 11 años se entera que la van a adoptar

Las cámaras de seguridad de la escuela South Jordan, en Utah, EEUU, capturaron un momento de esos que cambian la vida para siempre: cuando Tannah Butterfield, de 11 años, se enteró de que iba a ser adoptada.

La grabación muestra a Tannah saltando de forma espontánea a los brazos de la directora del colegio, Jackie Alexander, que recibió la buena nueva de la madre de acogida de la niña.

I share this with permission from the parent of this student. This is pure testament that in a world full of turmoil and strife, there is still light and joy to be found in little everyday moments. A dear family I know has been fighting for as long as I can remember to adopt 3 of their foster children that attend our school. It's been hard to watch them fight this emotional battle. My love has grown for this family and I have learned so much from them as they have tried to remain positive despite many set backs. Today my phone rang at my desk and it was my friend Jen telling me things FINALLY had come to an end and the courts were going to let them ADOPT the children!! She asked me if I would be sure to tell her sweet girl when she came to my desk for her daily visit. She knew she would want to know right away because she had been so worried. I don't think even I could understand myself what that moment would feel like. Our security cameras caught the moment perfectly. I cry as I type this. In 12 years at this job, this is by far my best moment ever!! To tell a little girl that she gets her family forever takes the cake. I can't even describe that hug...and thank heavens her mom doesn't mind that I kissed her a million times, and a million more after the film cuts off. A moment needed after waking up to another morning of devastating news on t.v....but a sweet reminder today that life can be and still is beautiful in spite of it all. ♥️#americanheritageofsouthjordan

"Toda esa emoción, alegría y felicidad que se ve en Tannah caló en mí. No podíamos dejar de abrazarnos. Ella se aferraba a mí. Fue pura alegría", ha contado Jackie Alexander a la cadena estadounidense ABC.

Como ha contado a la emisora de radio 1010 WINS, estaba emocionada de que la familia se lo pidiera y de ser parte de un momento tan especial. "Me sentía llena de felicidad y de modestia", cuenta. "No es algo que haga cada día".

La familia Fisher, que también tienen dos hijos biológicos, Aiden (de 13 años) y Macy (de 10 años), ha contado a ABC News que esperaban que el proceso de adopción de sus hijos de acogida acabara un mes después. "Les queremos muchísimo", declaraba Jennifer Fisher.
