About Me
- redmaryjanes
- I am an everyday woman. I am married to my soulmate. I have three sons ages 16,13 & 4. Adoption was never something that I had planned to do, but through an interesting path, God has led me and my husband to pursue the adoption of our daughter Sophia from China. It has changed me in so many ways. I cannot wait to look in the mirror and see the woman I will be when this journey is over.

Woo hoo!!! Pictures!!!! I've been stalking your blog impatiently waiting. I'm just so thrilled to finally see Sophia's precious little face. Oh my goodness. She's lovely. I'm so happy for you, Kimberely!!
Amazing, wonderful -- finally!!!
To look at these photos, you'd think Sophia had already been with you forever, not just for a couple of days. She's just perfect!
She also looks tinier than she did in the photos -- is that true? Looks like you might be needing some shoes back? : )
Congratulations, my friend. Your girl was worth every second of the wait. I'm so happy that she's with you at last!
Oooh...I just noticed the piggies! I'm so glad they didn't give her a "meet your new family" haircut!
Darling, simply darling!
I am so glad I am sitting at my home computer looking at these and not somewhere public because the tears are streaming down my face. Especially that second photo, you belong together. Thanks so much for posting these, Sophia is just PRECIOUS!!! :)
Congratulations...got to your blog thru Kelly's. I love her middle name; that's mine (Sarah Jane)! She is beautiful and looks so happy and relaxed already. So pretty!! Thanks for letting me peak in...we're hoping to travel late summer for our newest daughter who just turned 7. Love seeing families be created! Best of luck. -- Sarah
What a beauty! Congratulations! She already has smiles & looks content :) So happy for you all!!!
She is BEAUTIFUL!!! So happy for all of you! Love her outfit...that may be the least "bundled" one I've ever seen a child in : )
Thanks for pics and can't wait to see more!! Oh, yeah those dimples!!!!

Congratulations!! So exciting! Dreams come true!
They are all such adorable pictures, but the last one especially deserves a special place in a frame! Too cute.
It looks like you guys are already getting on wonderfully.
She's STUNNING! That first picture of the two of you did me in. Tears are flowing. I'm so happy for her and for you. She looks like she's always belonged with your family!

Checking your blog (again!), this time with Katie on my lap --
Katie immediately said, "That's Sophia? I see her, I'm going to play with Sophia and Eli. They're my best friends!"
We can't wait until our four little kiddos playing together is a reality.
Those pictures are awesome!! I am so happy for you!!
Looks like she and Eli are getting along. Hope Eli's heart is healing from the initial rejection. And your's, too.
She's BEAUTIFUL! It's so nice seeing Sophia in the arms of her forever family! So excited for you!!

Oh, Kimberley,
Words cannot express how over joyed I am for all of you.... to see your precious, oh, so beautiful daughter in the arms of her family is priceless.... The Lord has answered our prayers.... Sophia Jane is home at last in her Mommy's arms. She is so beautiful and the joy in her sweet smile... simply radiant. Thank You Jesus for answering our prayers.
The picture of her in your arms is one of the most beautiful photographs I have ever seen.... the love that is overflowing from you for your beloved daughter stirs your heart to the very core.
God bless you precious family.
Love you
Oh my goodness. Just... oh my goodness. (And bubbles are magical those first few days, aren't they?)
The one of you and Sophia hugging oh it jsut made me all weak in the knees and that was it couldnt hold the tears back!
Simply breathtaking to see your dream come true and your family complete......sigh.
Congratulations.
Kimberley, I remember reaching my arms up to God in faith and thanking Him for sending your daughter to you...even before you saw her little red shoes. Remember that icon of the little balloon of hope that said "Don't let go". You never did let go...and your reward is now in your arms!!! This is such an answered prayer and my heart overflows with happiness for you and your family!!!
Sophia Jane is absolutely beautiful in your arms! She looks so much happier than the orphanage pics.
Enjoy your miracle!
Love you!
Robin
