An 8-year-old girl was surprised by her 2nd grade classmates during an adoption hearing for her and her 2-year-old sister.

Selah Scott and Skye Scot were adopted in Lubbock, Texas, on March 5 among family and friends. To Selah's shock, her teacher Ms. Ramirez and 13 of her fellow students showed up to the courthouse.

"It was the sweetest thing you've ever seen," mom Suzanne Scott told "Good Morning America." "She burst into tears and [the kids] got to sit in the jury box which was so cute. She covered her face with both hands and couldn't look up because she started crying."
