Happy Adoption Day Sophie!!

Four years ago today a judge in Kemerovo, Russia granted an adoption - probably just a regular day for her. But for our family it was much much more. That judge granted the adoption of little girl in Baby House #1 in Novokuznetsk.

We had waited so very long for this child. After years of infertility, treatments, and a country deciding it would no longer process adoptions this was a moment we had been waiting for.

I was finally a mother. Sophia Grace was officially ours.

There are no words to fully describe how I feel about this moment and my daughter. She came to me when I was so empty. I had a hole in my heart so large that I thought it could never be filled.

My heart now overflows with love for my sweet angel.

So on this last day of National Adoption Month I celebrate Sophie and Sam and adoptions of so many other children. My family was created through adoption and I am thankful beyond my wildest imagination to God for this incredible gift.

I will leave you with a slide show of Sophie from the beginning. I will warn you you have seen most of these pictures before because they are some of my favorites which are the ones I use on the blog.
