“We’ve waited a very long time to meet our little girl.

“This is a joy beyond anything we’d ever imagined. Anna is absolutely perfect.
We just can’t stop gushing, and we can’t stop staring at her.”

The pair shared some beautiful images with Sunday Confidential, with Dunn informing us one was taken when “Anna was 13 minutes old. Holding Daddy’s finger while her sobbing Mummy cradled her head”.

It’s happy news for the popular journalist, who suffered life-threatening complications following a miscarriage prior to the breakdown of her marriage in 2009.

Anna’s biological father Dunn is the long time executive producer of Seven News in Sydney and is clearly completely smitten with his firstborn, who was conceived after the pair used the IVF services of a South African clinic earlier this year.

While Dunn is currently on leave, Channel 7 colleagues were this week made aware of the news, with the friends sharing a snap of their baby girl via text.

Sadler revealed she was pregnant in April this year, with the former Sunday Night journalist saying she was “beyond ecstatic”.

Congratulations to the happy parents.
