A Couple Flying Home With Their Newly Adopted Daughter Received An Impromptu Baby Shower On The Plane

New dad Dustin Moore admitted on Twitter it had been a difficult week. The California nutritionist didn't want to air his grievances on social media, he wanted to turn the mood around. So, instead of talking about his hard week, he shared a story about a recent day – the day he and his wife brought their new daughter home. 

"I hope our story uplifts you, and reminds you there is goodness to be had in this world," Moore wrote on Twitter diving into the heartwarming tale.

"Not too long ago, my wife and I boarded a @SouthwestAir flight with our recently adopted infant daughter," he wrote. When the couple boarded the plane, Moore apologized to his fellow passengers – as many parents with babies feel pressured to do while flying.

"About mid flight, our daughter awoke and politely informed us she wanted a new new diaper," Moore's Twitter thread continued. "After inquiring about space for a table change, a thoughtful flight attendant (named Jenny) cleared a space in the back of the plane and gave us privacy."

The act of kindness from Jenny was just the first of several on this flight home. Next, the flight attendant and fellow passengers complimented the couple on their new baby girl. 

On the flight, Moore explained to inquiring passengers why they were flying with such a young baby – they had just adopted her and were bringing her home. Moore told CBS News he and his wife picked their newborn daughter up in Colorado, where she was born, and she was only eight days old when they boarded the flight home to California. The couple isn't sharing their daughter's name or photos of her as a condition of their adoption. 

"About 10 minutes later, another attendant (named Bobby) greeted us w/ a warm smile, and inquired about our daughter," Moore's Twitter thread continued. "We repeated the story w/ a few details, and he congratulated us before walking away. My wife and I exchanged curious looks, but thought nothing more about it."

"Then, we heard the intercom," Moore wrote. "The attendant Bobby came on and announced a special guest on the flight. Our daughter."

Bobby told the flight about Moore and his wife, Caren's, new bundle of joy. "The entire cabin erupted in cheers and applause," Moore wrote.

Next, the flight attendant said the crew was going to pass out pens and napkins so fellow passengers could write down advice or words of encouragement for the new parents. "We sat in speechless gratitude, as people kept peeking over their chairs to congratulate us," Moore's thread continued.

Bobby read some of the notes out loud, then gave the Moores a bundle of about 60 napkins, all with kind words like: "Rub each other's feet, and rub the baby's feet," and, "Make time for date night," and, "Always tell her you love her," Moore wrote.
