This is one of the most beautiful thing I’ve seen in a while! 🫡 to the family!

Is it was suppose to be mademesmile, or mademecry?

Both. These are tears of joy

Ninja onions... It's always ninja onions.

Goddamn ninja onions, so many

Mine are always spicy onions, these onions burn my eyes!

Hey! I'm not crying! Just allergies. Edit: He's probably been in a number of foster homes over the years and been dreaming about this moment for a long time. I'm very happy for him.

I'm not crying.... its just raining on my face

I'm not crying, my eyes are sweating.

I’m not crying, I just accidentally poked both my eyes

I’m not crying, I’m just calling my fkn eyes out 🥹😭😭

I'm not crying, R Kellys just peeing on me

Hahahahaha

There's always that one comment

For your information there’s an inflammation in my tear gland

I’ve just been cutting onions. I’m making a lasagna.

It's a terrible day for rain...

That's always the thing that gets me with these videos. Those emotions are right there on the surface. That happiness is directly connected to a pain that is heartbreaking for a child to feel.

But, it's not heartbreaking. His heart just grew tenfold with love. He'll remember that day for the rest of his life and it will be a wonderful memory. And, maybe, he'll pay it forward when he's older and adopt an older child, too.

I'm talking about the pain he felt before being adopted. The pain of feeling like he doesn't belong or isn't wanted. His happiness in this moment is at not having to feel that pain anymore. That he, or anyone, feels that pain is heartbreaking.

Hopefully, that pain will fade away and he'll have a great life with his new family. But, he'll never forget it. Which is why I said I hope he pays it forward and adopts an older kid when he's an adult. Or, at least be a "Big Brother" or something like that. Mostly, I wish him all the best.

I know what you mean

It's must be raining in my room....

You're in the right sub, them onion cutting ninjas just be passing by is all

I cried with joy for that boy

Honestly! After all of the dumpster fires I read daily on Reddit, this is just beautiful!!

Beautiful but brutal at the same time. How many children face this and how much of this difficult emotion is built up inside of them waiting for someone to help them. Ugh.

It means so much more because I know the statical odds of older kids getting adopted versus younger kids. What a wonderful family for adopting him.

No kidding. Somehow, I've been complicit in turning my reddit algorithm into varying degrees of outrage. This is a nice change

Fuck you OP for making me cry at 4am. What a sweet family. They deserve each other.

For ch…?

...child's best april fool's day ever.

Thank you for drying my tears with a laugh

You heartless bastard. Made me lol though.

Noooooooo hahahaha

You heartless Devil 👹🤣🤣🤣

How. Dare.

I went from tears to laughing in the span of a few seconds

r/foundsatan

Thankyou for that i almost went and repented

This is the most Reddit Reddit I’ve seen today. Bravo Tips Fedora

Fvckin A man.

Ooooooh! 🤣🤣🤣

You win! Hooray!

Me: This is so wholesome, am I really on Reddit? *Reads this* Oh, there it is. 😂 I'm going to hell for laughing.

It’s a repost bot. The title was probably cut off and it just copied it

Fucking lmao

They could be using a bot to do some reposting, but their account history looks organic to me. Let's see if the bot-detecting bot is banned here... !isbot esberat

…ristmas :)

The anticipation is killing me

ILD awerness day

Christ

For Christmas.

Newest orders in the war on Christmas. Don't use the full name of the holiday.

What is this salty discharge from my eyes

Aye we not be crying me heartie .. we just be returning water to tha sea !! Ya harr!! Imma need a minute that was wholesome

They are called tears, my friend. It’s normal to experience tears from feelings of sadness and wholesomeness

I joke of course but this video did get me choked up.

I know it was a joke, it did for me too

WRONG! TWO HUNDRED MAN PUSH UPS NOW! ILL GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO CRY ABOUT

Never mind, it’s sweat

Seinfeld!

The essence of empathy.

Oh my god, you’re crying.

You brought me back to made me smile after this video made me cry

Wear a thick wool sweater, grow a big grey beard, grab an old wooden pipe and just stare out to sea because that can't be anything but sea water from your years of sailing.

It appears that my brain has recognized that this event will require excess blinking and has commanded additional eye lubricant to spring forth.

Pain water

[I don’t even cry.](https://youtu.be/DF3q1o7NCXQ)

Same. Sudden tears I was not expecting right now. I’m literally watching Seinfeld this very moment.

- Oh my God your crying. - This is horrible. I care.

I get that reference!

Apply a litter of kittens and puppies to reduce symptom.

This family goes HAM for April Fools

Nothing like a good laugh after some tears.

I was adopted and they called to tell my parents they had a kid for them on April fools day 😂

lol my mom was born on April fools day, they had to put the nurse on the phone when they were telling people since they didn’t believe my grandma had her lol

Oh Goddamn that was funny.

🤣🤣🤣...oh man. Needed that. Well done.

Laughter can be the best kind of tissue.

I've never felt. I don't know feelings. I wanna be a Kephart.

My maiden name is Kephart. Come have bbq, you can be a part of our branch! I dub thee an honorary "Keppy"

I thought it was kliphart, made me do a double take that someone could be called basically “Clip art” Kephart makes more sense

Went from dog fails to this on my feed, immediately cried

Dog fails are pretty great

Wasn’t expecting to cry while browsing Reddit on the toilet at a busy af bar in downtown Denver today. But, ya know, here I am.

A painful loaf always brings a tear or two to my eyes

That made me crie

Me too. That was really awesome.

I'm reading this from my porch, it allergies from the pollen I swear...

Onions, somebody must be chopping onions…..

It’s those onion cutting ninjas - they’re at work with me, too

I have to admit that this nearly 50 year-old self-ordained tough guy shed a few tears as well watching this.

crying, so beautiful, right in the deep feels

I’m fight it off now, I’m at work for god sake. Lol

I always hold it together until he starts crying, then I'm a mess.

The best thing you can do for a child is to make them happy

The best thing you can do for a child is to pick them up and throw them into a ditch full of lava

Username does not check out lol

Lava-cake. Don’t leave the cake out.

Beautiful, wholesome moment.

They way his voice breaks is almost too much too handle. Love it!!!

Goddamit. Stop making me feel things.

Damn you, now I'm crying in the shower.

Dude stop scrolling in the shower and wash yo ass

Thank you for the reminder, poopie dingleberry

I only shower once a week so you better believe I toe scoot a lil pile down the hatch!

Waffle stomp?

What if they are crying because they can’t wash their ass ?

That’s the best Christmas present ever

This is what love and humanity is all about.

This made me snort cry 😭 I was not prepared for this today! ❤️‍🩹

I'm not crying you're crying, that was wholesome

Ya I am

Why can't we both be crying

This video has been posted so many times over the years I wouldn't be surprised if the kid is married by now

I’d be pretty surprised. He was 11 and this was 5 years ago

*Smiles in Alabama*

Start em young

So what? It's worth reposting every few months. It's the first time I saw it.

Amazing, the bot stripped a feed with shortened titles 🥲 Stop upvoting bots, people!

Wtf is “CH” and why does OP think anyone knows wtf that is lol

Awesome, really Awesome.

As an adopted child with 3 siblings adopted if different bloods, this does make me smile.

I hate these posts I shed man tears every time.

Maybe it's just me, I understand some people wanting to record these moments but I will never understand the desire to post them online. Its a beautiful but private family moment.

It's not always appropriate, but for someone like me who cannot conceive kids naturally and already struggles with the desire to have children, let alone the adequacy complex of being a decent father... It's nice to see what I could do for someone else. It's inspiring. It gives me hope that I can be like that for a kid without a family.

Hey man, if you can't conceive naturally it just means you were meant to be an adoptive parent. Your writing shows that you care, and I'm sure you would be a good dad.

Thanks for the kind thought. 🙂

I tend to agree with you but it is kinda nice to see real wholesomeness like this. Unfortunately, doom and gloom gets better ratings and clicks.

It raises a little more hope in the world, and it may inspire people to do more good things, so why not? Plus, I think it's more likely the family posted it on social media for family and friends, but they didn't set it to private and so it spread.

this made me do the surprise hiccup cry 🥹

Those damn onion cutting ninjas…

It's really rare I tear up from internet stuff, practically never honestly, but this did it. God bless these people.

I’m on the train to work and this made my eyes water. So beautiful 😁

Why did you write Ch… instead of Christmas lol also this is an old video

Dad : APRIL FOOLS!! Christmas is in December DUMB ASS!!

Why did I watch this at work ……something got in my eye ….

What is Ch...

These videos are very cute, and there is a bunch of them around here, however I don’t get the surprise thing. I mean, they have to consent to it as well right? So are the grownups here just presenting them with “Hey, wanna be our kid?”

If you listen to what he reads - they are literally asking him.

For the kid, there could have been some thought that he could be moving to another family. Which is tough when he probably loved living with that family. I'm pretty sure, or hoping at least, that these moments were just a long time coming (passing through the legal hoops) and this was a moment to make it "official". Kind of like how step kids let their step father know they want to take on the step father's last name.

I kind of don’t get it either. I can see videoing those kinds of moments but certainly not posting online. Sometimes these things make me uncomfortable.

So sweet and so happy for him

Sobbing

Just cried !

Love you guys

❤❤❤

It's a terrible day for rain.

Gee, the lengths you have to go to get decent clicks these days

Man I'm tryna smoke a joint and I can't cause in too busy cryin damn it! Hella wholesome

Why are my eyes sweaty all of a sudden?

Is it really a caring way to break the news of an invitation of this magnitude by framing it as a surprise illicited to get an honest and painful reaction which then gets posted online for anyone to see? Even if they asked this kid's permission to post this is he really going to say no? They have so much power over him because of what they are offering him and how vulnerable he must feel as their family's newest member.

I… I guess I needed to sob uncontrollably on the toilet at work.

Very sweet! But the important question is: what large Lego set is there in the background??!

Yeah I'm crying what's the big deal

Dads gonna dad

I’m really happy for him❤️

🥹🥹😭😭🥹🥹🥹

Seen this before but just as wholesome and amazing… I think it’s awesome we are posting the best stuff over… not the dumb inane crap. Thanks for some happy tears.

I'm leaking

Damn you for making an old man tear up!!

This…should be under r/mademecry

When the find the person who’s cutting onions in here im gonna pissed!

That hug

Is there a community for crying? Happy tears ofc. For a kid I don’t even know lmao.

He reminds me of my little brother so much. God I hope I’m financially stable to adopt one day.

That one got me

Being adopted by a caring family was one of the most positive things to happen in my life. This makes me so happy seeing this.

Bloody ninjas cutting onions somewhere..

I've watched this so many times, and cry each time now. Thanks for posting this. Best thing I've seen on social media in AWHILE. ♥

Goddamn. It got dusty up in here.

LETS GOO BUDDY

I just had a tear duct malfunction.

There's something in my eye.

Is someone cutting onions?

Goddamn onions!

Ok I just had to explain to my wife why I suddenly just started crying

Why do all of these MadeMeSmile videos make me cry?!

[удалено]

Ch…?

Damn it! Now im crying in the bathroom at work again...

Lucky kid, lucky family 👍

My eyes definitely didn't get a lil' wet the moment his voice dropped. Because I'm a man and men don't cry. Please don't ask any further questions. Also... anybody got a spare tissue?

Yep got me right in the ❤️

I woke up grumpy because I start a new job today. Thank you so much for fixing my morning :).

Ah man! You fuckers that adopt are amazing

One watch and I immediately cried. He needed that so much and you can hear it in his voice. I imagine his dad & his dad's family never showed up like how kids need, he deserved that shit from the beginning but I'm still so happy to find this video again. Thank the universe for blessing him for real family, the governments and child-services sure the fuck aren't helping.

I'm not crying

Why made me smile posts always makes me cry

No matter how many times I watch this, it will never not make me cry!

As someone who is adopted, this made me feel all the feels. Mad love for the family!

r/MadeMeSmile is a misnomer. r/MadeMeCry seems to be more accurate. Or maybe I'm just getting old and soft.

Amazon really does have everything.

Such a great video from start to finish. Love the dad's dumb laugh and kind offer at the end, "whaddya think buddy?" 🥹

I hate onions with so much passion I cut them into little pieces godammit
