Three newly adopted siblings held a sign that read, "we've waited 4 years, 4 months, and 28 days for today!"

Once separated by the foster care system, Jonathan, 10, Madeline, 8, and Benjamin, 6, are finally together again under the same roof.

Jennifer Tveter of Derry, New Hampshire, began fostering the three children in 2019, and on March 29, she officially adopted them.

"It is the best day of my whole entire life," said Jonathan. "I feel so happy," added Madeline.

The neighborhood celebrated the occasion with a socially-distanced car parade. Tveter said she's grateful and excited that the three can just focus on growing up.
