"I think that by a certain stage in your life you think you have had every experience you are going to have -- but then she shows up," Kotb tearfully said on Monday's show. "This is beyond a dream, like, you have your dreams, and then this."

"I never believed in love at first sight until now," she continued. "She was the missing puzzle piece. I was scared to hold her, but then when they put her in my arms, she fit perfectly."
