We have a daughter. I am still kind of in a daze I think. But yes...we have found Sophia Jane. We accepted her referral on Friday morning. She is absolutely beautiful and I wish I could show you her face, but our agency is very conservative, so it will probably be a couple of weeks before I can post her entirely. But I do have permission to post her little feet and imagine my surprise when I opened her referral photo and saw her wearing these :) I had prayed and prayed that God would give me a sign and show me which child was ours. I just couldn't believe it when I saw these little red maryjanes on her feet.
Sophia is three and a half years old. She is in Beijing. I just can't stop looking at her pictures. Eli has her little photo in a frame beside his bed, the older boys are anxious to have her home. We are over the moon!

Love ya girly..
First, Amy & Michael and now you & Tim. I am so very, very happy for you! It only makes sense that she is wearing red maryjanes. I'm sure you've heard the story of Sara finding the pink maryjanes along side the road before she ever thought of adoption. And how they fit Mya perfectly. These are not just coincidences. They are signs; a positive reaffirmation for believing!
I can't wait to see her happy face when she is in your arms!
God is good!
Congratulations to your family on the newest addition! I am looking forward to following your journey as you finally get to hold your daughter Sophia Jane! Praise God for such wonderful news!
