Gerber announced on Friday its 2020 “Spokesbaby” from an applicant pool of more than 327,000 infants. And not only is Baby Magnolia adorable — she’s the first adopted baby chosen for the iconic campaign.
Magnolia Earl, from Ross, California, was chosen as the winner of the company’s 10th annual Photo Search competition for her “joyful expression, playful smile and warm, engaging gaze.” The company said in a press release that her story “serves as a reminder of what unites all parents and drives everyone at Gerber: the promise to do anything for baby.”
Magnolia celebrates her first birthday on Saturday, May 9. One year ago, her parents were able to meet and connect with her birth parents just hours before she was born and adopted.
“Magnolia has brought so much joy to everyone she meets. Her personality is beyond happy and joyful,” said Magnolia’s mother, Courtney Earl. “Adoption is incredibly special to our family’s story. Winning Photo Search is an opportunity to tell Magnolia’s story and shed light on all the beautiful and different ways families are made.”
