Watch 5-year-old’s tears of joy as she meets her baby sister for the first time

A long-awaited moment brought a flood of joyful tears to 5-year-old Cataleya when she finally met her baby sister.

Cataleya had been dreaming of having a sister since she was just 3 years old. When her mom, Indhira Ferreira, and dad, Daniel Perez, shared the news of their pregnancy, Cataleya's happiness was so overwhelming that she cried tears of joy.

But nothing could have prepared her for the incredible emotions she felt when she met her little sister, Valeria, for the first time at a hospital in Lancaster, California.

“Their bond has been amazing from the start,” said Indhira. “Cataleya loves helping with Valeria - whether it’s fetching diapers or assisting with bath time - it’s the cutest thing ever!”
