WE HAVE A NEW DAUGHTER!!!
We are beyond happy to announce that we have been matched with a little girl from China. We got "the call" Tuesday, Feb. 2-2010 around 11am. All of us were home to hear Miss Debby say "You Got Her!" I can't reveal too many details due to other families who were interested in her being notified. My heart goes out to them and I'm sensitive to their emotions as I've been in that position many times in the past.
Todd had been suppressing emotion for 3 years in order to lead us effectively; it was a beautiful moment when he gazed at her picture with tears streaming down his face and said, "We have a new daughter!"
We are so incredibly grateful for the outpouring of love, care and support we've received in the past 3 years from our local church~ encouraging phone calls, e-mails, letters, dropping by to pray with us....it's been overwhelming!
Fifty friends braved the 6 inches of snow to enjoy a night of feasting and celebration of God's faithfulness! We sang around the piano and gave glory to God for his kindness!
We were freshly reminded of God's adoption plan for us! Our wait, sacrifice and suffering for Sophie Rose were nothing compared to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus' death on the cross to secure our adoption into His family! This link is another beautiful reminder of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. http://bit.ly/a5uZGy
We have pictures of our Sophie Rose that we're cherishing and a video that allows us to see her talk, sing, and dance! I'll be chatting with our SW today about details.
The 3 year wait is over; I can see her face! Can I jump on a plane to China today???
With a grateful mommy's heart~
Thank you for joining us as we begin the exciting journey of raising our new, sweet Sophia Rose. God continues to be faithful and generously pour out His profound grace along the way!
