Gotcha Day!

It's hard to believe that it's been 2 whole years since our baby girl was placed in our arms forever! The memory of Dr. Kim praying over Sophie prior to leaving Korea and the tears as we grieved not only for all that Sophie was leaving behind, but also for all that her foster mother was giving us remain as fresh as they did on this day in 2006. We continue to carry Sophie's foster family and birthfamily in our hearts and prayers...it is clear that our little girl has been loved by many!

This day is and will remain one of the most special days for our family - it's the day we had dreamed of for so long...the day we found each other and never let go! Sophie-girl, your mama and daddy love you more than you can imagine...Happy 2nd Gotcha Day, pumpkin! Let's celebrate with cupcakes!

I didn't give you the gift of life,
But in my heart I know
The love I feel is as deep and real
as if it had been so.

For us to have each other
is like a dream come true!
No, I didn't give you the gift of life,
Life gave me the gift of you.
