!!Welcome Sophie Hui Hui Dejardin!!
It's official, at 4:08 this afternoon we got "the call" confirming the arrival of the referrals.
Her name is Hui Hui Dong and she was born on August 18, 2005. She is at the Yangdong SWI in Guangdong Province (that's in the south of China, near Hong Kong). She weighed 6kg and was 63 cm in length at her February check-up. As you can see, she's as cute as a button and Mommy, Daddy and Stephanie are thrilled.
As you can see from our title, we've decided to name her Sophie.
It looks like we'll be leaving for China on or about July 28th and we're hoping to post lots more information and pictures during our trip.
Well, that's it for this post. We're exhausted and our emotions are on overload. We'll fill you in on the details of this rather strange but delightful day at another time.

Oh my god...she is beautiful. I am in tears. I am so excited and happy that you have finally made it to the top of the mountain and can now enjoy bringing that emotional roller coaster down the hill to the home stretch. Sophie will soon be in the loving arms of a family most deserving. And she will be sooooo lucky because she will have the best big sister ever.
congratulations!!!!!
I can't wait to meet her...
We will have to get together soon.

As you embark on your new journey, with Sophie, we would like to extend our sincerest congratulations and best wishes for all good things to come in the years ahead.
I leave you with this happy note:
"The sun is nature, warmth & light
Giving life & hope & might
And though it may be far away
Will touch the child with every ray
The heart is nurture, love & grace
Lives for each smile upon your face
Teaches what you need to know
Makes you laugh & helps you grow
For one, a wish that runs so deep
Their child-- a home to safely keep
Another's wish so true & bold
A child to love & teach & hold
The star-- the wish of the two
Heaven makes them both come true
In both ways merciful & mild
Their star -- their cherished wish --their child"
She is soooooo cute!
Rose, Matt, Lia and Laura
Chris, Caroline and Stephanie,
We are absolutely THRILLED for you!!! Little Sophie is gorgeous, and Chris and I cannot wait to meet her!!! I know it's been a long journey, but this is so worth it! I'm sure you know that I think that you are both great people and fabulous parents; Stephanie is a testament to that. So, it's plainly obvious that Sophie is an extremely fortunate young lady!! As for "Ms. Stephanie", you are going to ROCK as a "super-cool" big sister!!! (If you need pointers, let me know, I'm a "big sister" too!!).
Cheers and most heartfelt congratulations to all of you and your entire family!!!
Lillian and Chris

Chris and Caroline,
We are so happy for you and thank you for sharing this special time in your life with us.
Stephanie, you are now the big sister! Sometimes sisters can be a pain, but as you grow up together sisters turn out to be very special to us.
Sophie, you are much too young to realize this yet, but as you grow into a young woman you will come to realize how blessed you are to be part of such a loving and strong family unit.
Our love and prayers remain with you all.
Fay and Patrick
Hi Guys,
Andrena and I cannot get on to our computers at home. Long story about defective computers. Congratulations, she is so beautiful and we can't wait to meet her and spoil her. A new arrival to the coffee gang!
Once again, we are so happy for you,
Love,
Andrena & Sylvie
