Sometimes you wish for something so hard that when your dream finally comes trues it can be hard to believe it.

You’re so overwhelmed with emotion that you are driven to tears.

That’s what happened to João Prudêncio Neto and his son David when miracle baby Giovanna was born.

Giovanna was a miracle because João didn’t think he was able to conceive.

João became unable to produce sperm after the birth of his son David.

However, João and his wife Karolinne still wanted to have another child.

“After having our first child David, I became infertile. It was impossible to be a father again with zero sperm production. My wife @karolinneprudencio was healthy and also dreamed of having another child,” João wrote on Instagram.

According to Cleveland Clinic, infertility affects one in every six couples trying to conceive.

Men are found to have infertility issues in at least half of all infertility cases.

This amounts to about 10 percent of men who are trying to conceive in the U.S. being infertile.

But João and his wife weren’t counting on statistics or doctors to help them get pregnant.

They instead put their faith in their Lord Jesus Christ.

Because of their faith and prayers, João miraculously became fertile and was able to conceive. That’s why he and his son were so emotional when she was finally born.

Until the Lord Jesus healed me, giving me life to generate another. Giovanna’s birth is not only a blessing for our family, but also for all those who dream of one day living the miracle that only Jesus can do. We prayed every day for a miracle. I was a father again without any artificial procedure. Glory to God! All this emotion is for the miracle performed; my wife is very well and happy!” João wrote.

The moment of João and his son holding baby Giovanna for the first time was captured on video.

The two of them were sobbing heavily as David held his little sister in his arms.

They were in complete hysterics and in total awe of the beautiful gift God had bestowed upon them.

“I waited patiently for the Lord; HE leaned toward me and heard me when I cried out for help,” João quoted from Psalms 40:1 in his post.

That video ended up going viral with more than 56,000 views.

“This boy will be the greatest big brother to his baby sister,” wrote one commenter.

“That is beautiful and such a Blessed answer to your prayers. She is a beautiful baby as your precious son is a blessed child. This lifted me up today and continued prayers for your beloved family. God Bless each of you,” said another.

Hopefully, little Giovanna will be treasured the same way for the rest of her life.
