according to KUTV-TV<\/a>.<\/p>\nKUTV reported that on Oct. 2, Tannah Butterfield, a sixth-grader at American Heritage School in South Jordan, Utah, was informed that a judge approved her foster parents\u2019 petition to adopt her and her two younger siblings.<\/p>\n
The little girl couldn’t be any happier!<\/p>\n
Tannah\u2019s adoptive mother called the school and asked the school\u2019s office manager Jackie Alexander to tell Tannah the news.<\/p>\n
When she learned her\u00a0adoption<\/span>\u00a0was official, Tannah jumped into Alexander\u2019s arms and didn\u2019t let go.<\/p>\nIn a now-viral Instagram post, Alexander shared footage of the moment caught by the school\u2019s security cameras.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis 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,\u201d Alexander wrote:<\/p>\n
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\u2019s 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 setbacks. 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\u00a0girl<\/span>\u00a0when 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\u2019t think even I could understand myself what that moment would feel like. Our security cameras caught the moment perfectly.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
