Tami - seeing these pictures and reading about Sophie and your chances to talk with her on the phone are all so amazing!! What a wonderful opportunity to connect with her before you travel!

My heart goes out to little Emily too - sending thoughts and prayers to her as she waits for her 'forever family'. Soak up the beauty of this time too.

About Me
Tami
I've been married for 11 years to John, my best friend and 'the one' who still makes my heart flutter when he gives me that special look. I feel so fortunate to be a stay at home mom to our two sons, Nathan, 10 and Owen, 7 who are not only my greatest joy, but also seem to be the source of the many grays that are appearing in my hair due to their 'no fear' attitude! The boys keep my life very active with sports, cub scouts, and skateboarding. We feel God has called us to add to our family through adoption, and He has opened our hearts to the special need children in China. On Feb. 28, 2009 we were matched with our precious daughter, Sophie, who is 3 and is waiting for us in Beijing. We can't wait to bring her home!
Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV) Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your path straight.
