Adoption finalizations and custody grants are some of the most quietly enormous moments a family experiences. ReactReplay turns them into a synced reveal — every grandparent, every aunt, every sibling on their own camera the second the headline ("ADOPTION FINAL" / "GOTCHA DAY") pops up.

Why this beats a text

The moment is the point.

These are days you cry in a courtroom hallway. Most families don’t have a recording. ReactReplay gives you one — clean, private, and stored forever in your library.

How it works for a adoption / custody finalization

Three minutes from setup to live room.

Custom reveal, emerald palette, headline ("FINAL", "GOTCHA DAY", or the kid’s new last name). Per-recipient links for the grandparents and the people who showed up to court. Run the room from the parking lot or the dinner that night.

  1. 1. Choose your reveal. Custom headline, accent color, scheduled or instant.
  2. 2. Generate per-recipient links. Paste names — each guest gets a personal URL.
  3. 3. Press start. The countdown plays in every browser; cameras roll; clips land in your library.
Common questions

Adoption / custody finalization FAQs.

What is a Gotcha Day reveal?
Gotcha Day is the day an adoption is legally finalized. ReactReplay turns the announcement into a synced reveal room: every loved one’s camera fires at the same instant the headline appears. The recordings become part of the family story.
Is this only for adoptive families?
No — works for custody finalizations, foster-to-adopt transitions, and any court-final family event. The headline is whatever you choose.
Can the kid be in the room too?
Yes. Open the reveal on a second device with the kid in frame. They become a guest in their own moment.
How private are the recordings?
Reveals are unlisted, recordings live in your private host library, and only you can download or share them. Adoption-day clips often stay in the family — that’s fully supported.
How long are the videos kept?
Lifetime on Big Day ($79) and Production ($149). Adoption finalizations are exactly the moment you want to still be able to play in 25 years.
