ONE YEAR AGO TODAY.....

ONE YEAR AGO TODAY, ADAM AND I WERE BOARDING A PLAN, SET FOR JAPAN, THEN TO GUANGZHOU, CHINA - TO STAY THE NIGHT AND BOARD ANOTHER PLANE TO GET TO KUNMING, CHINA TO MEET OUR DAUGHTER. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT IT HAS ALREADY BEEN ONE YEAR. THE EXPERIENCE OF ADOPTING SOPHIA STILL GIVES US THE CHILLS. WHAT AN EXPERIENCE. WHAT A MIRACLE. HOW DID WE GET SO LUCKY? THAT YOU LORD! WE LOVE CHINA AND HAVE A HEART FOR THE PEOPLE PF CHINA. WE LOOK AT OUR PRECIOUS DAUGHTER, WHO HAS BEEN IN OUR HOME FOR ALMOST ONE YEAR NOW AND CAN NOT EVEN IMAGINE OUR LIVES WITHOUT HER. I THANK THE LORD FOR CALLING US, BEING THE VERY ORDINARY PEOPLE THAT WE ARE, TO DO SUCH AN EXTRAORDINARY THING! SOPHIA HAS BLESSED OUR SOCKS OF AND WE ARE FOREVER GREATFUL TO BE ABLE TO ME CALLED HER MOMMY AND DADDY. I THINK OF SOPHIA'S BIRTH MOM AND THE HUGE SACRIFICE SHE MADE FOR SOPHIA AND HOW MUCH SHE LOVED THIS PRECIOUS CHILD. I PRAY THAT SHE KNOWS THAT SOPHIE IS LOVED BEYOND COMPREHENSION AND CARED FOR AND TREASURED. I PRAY THAT SHE FEELS IN HER HEART A SENSE OF LOVE - WE WILL FOREVER TELL OUR PRECIOUS DAUGHTER THAT HER MOTHER HAD FOR HER. AWE IS THE ONLY WORD THAT CAN MEASURE HOW WE FEEL.
