Mickey Mouse hands two siblings a sign... and they can't believe what's written on it

This is all kinds of emotional!

When Tom and Courtney Gilmour were given the go-ahead to adopt their two foster children, they just knew how they wanted to tell the kids. 

The couple, who live in New Jersey, had been fighting to adopt the brother and sister for a long time, so it was a huge deal.

So Courtney got in touch with Disney who "provided a little of their trademarked magic" to make the moment that extra bit special – and they filmed the whole thing. 

Taking the youngsters to Disneyland, they were granted an extra special meet and greet with Mickey Mouse. 

Signing autographs and performing magic tricks, the youngsters didn't know what to expect when they were handed a very special sign:' Adoption Day May 2017'. 

Overcome with emotion, the siblings don't know what to do bursting into tears at the realisation that they were going to be a proper family. 

Thankfully, Tom then took to his Facebook page to share the momentous occasion, explaining how he wants to "keep the positivity growing and going". 

"In the somewhat dark world we live in, where ofttimes people are looking to take each other down, it makes me smile to see our light spread a little bit further," he wrote.

"It makes me very happy that the joy our family felt on this day is more universal."

Such a beautiful video, you'll definitely need tissues for this one.
