“After 9 years of trying for a baby, Dustin and Caren Moore were on the way home with their adopted baby girl. It was a flight they will never forget.”

“Dustin shared the touching series of events that happened during the flight home on Twitter. This is what he wrote:”

It’s been a difficult week. But, rather than publicly air my grievances, I’d like to share with you the kindness strangers offered us the day we brought our daughter home. I hope our story uplifts you, and reminds you there is goodness to be had in this world. Not too long ago, my wife and I boarded a [Southwest Airlines] flight with our recently adopted infant daughter.

After a change, Jenny and another passenger complimented my beautiful daughter and politely asked what had prompted a flight with such a young infant.

I gave them the shortened adoption story, to which they hastily offered congratulations, and shared a few more kind remarks. About 10 minutes later, another attendant (named Bobby) greeted us with a warm smile, and inquired about our daughter.

The entire cabin erupted in cheers and applause.
