Couple the emotions that seem to come at the end of Christmas with this beautiful video, and what you have are a lot of sappy tears.

 

Call us emotional wrecks, but we couldn’t help cry at this video shared by an 18-year of the moment she asked her stepdad to officially adopt her.

 

Hannah Ingram’s dad Chris Echols has been in her life since she was six-year’s old. So no doubt she wanted to make this special relationship “official”.

 

 

Surprising him with a card and a box of pink balloons (well he IS about to become a dad – again!) she asked him her special request.

 

And his response? Happy tears, a big hug and the answer she wanted to hear: “Yes”.

 

Cue us sobbing our hearts out.

 

 

The video has been shared on the feel-good Facebook page Love What Matters, and has been liked over 18,000 times.

 

“His face when he realised what he was reading,” said one commenter. “I could feel it in my heart.”

 

While another added: “At the age of 55 and 51, me and my sister presented our “dad” with adoption papers! A few tears were shed also. It's never too late to be adopted!!!”

 

 

And Chris is over the moon that people are taking such joy from the heart-warming video.

 

“Thank you all for the incredible support and love coming across in your comments,” he says. “This was the greatest gift I could have ever received and am excited to see so many getting to share in our joy.”

 

Gorgeous.
