.....................Sophie's Story.....................: Happy Thanksgiving and 2nd Birthday!
http://stacyandjasonsadoption.blogspot.com/2010/11/happy-thanksgiving-and-2nd-birthday.html
Saturday, November 27, 2010. Happy Thanksgiving and 2nd Birthday! We celebrated Sophie's second birthday on Tuesday evening before heading down to Miami. We did a quiet dinner with ourselves, Patti and Grammie. We then went home to open presents. How fun! Is this the same little girl to pitched a fit and didn't want to go swimming in Guangzhou? Bedtime rolled around early as we prepared for an even bigger day, relatives being met for the first time, pool, ocean, and LOTS of breakables. Casey was amazing ...

Wednesday, June 30, 2010. Well, those of you who know me well will not be surprised to hear that I have been a major procrastinator. So much has happened over the last month and a half that I need to spend a moment playing catch-up before I can vent about what is really going on. First, on my last visit to the blogosphere. We were anxiously awaiting our log-in date. Well.that happened! Wouldn't it have been terrible if I'd say we were still waiting? A few days prior to May 19 th. I got word from Yu.

Sunday, May 2, 2010. Has it been two weeks yet? Stir crazy does not describe this wait! Right now we are doing our research. We need to address what needs we feel comfortable with. Also, we need to make sure our insurance company will accept the needs of our child and not consider them "pre-existing conditions." Actually, as I'm typing I remember that a group policy has to accept pre-existing conditions. So, we should be good to go with either insurance policy we use. YES! Posted by Stacy and Jason.

.....................Sophie's Story.....................: A break in silence
http://stacyandjasonsadoption.blogspot.com/2011/08/break-is-silence.html
Sunday, August 21, 2011. A break in silence. I've always thought of myself and as someone who has a tough time keeping a secret when it comes to something I'm excited about. It turns out that description is a better fit for my husband. After months of stalking advocacy boards, budgeting, begging, and most of all enjoying our beautiful daughter Jason and I have decided to move forward with a second adoption! I thought we'd be taking things slow and then WHAM! We were offered files. I am holding off on...

Friday, December 3, 2010. Milestones at every corner. Albeit, it may not have been what we expected, but I think we'd both have to say we wouldn't want it any other way. Sophie is the most amazing thing that could have ever happened to our family and is bringing us more and more joy everyday. She is amazing in so many ways and I'm ecstatic that she's with us. There will be much to celebrate tomorrow! PS Sophie is now saying a few new words. She says "stop" complete with hand gestures, "GO! Milestones at ...

Saturday, July 31, 2010. New picture of Sophie and her friend Keaton! Huge shout out to my new best friend Christy from NC! Anyway, we were sharing blogs on the Yahoo group and Christy sent me an email and said that she recognized Sophie from one of Keaton's pictures. And wouldn't you know it? It's the same picture I thought. Must be her! You may have to click on the picture to blow it up. She's the half naked baby in the background. Here is the last picture of her so you can compare. What do you think?

Tuesday, April 20, 2010. The dossier is in the mail! I am happy to report that our dossier went out today! Yesterday I emailed Yu. Ping to see if she had any updates on our paperwork. I'd had a terrible nightmare that we hit a hold up the night before. Yu. Ping responded and let me know that she had received our paperwork. She also let us know that our dossier would go out today. Late this evening I received an email confirming that it DID go out! I know that is best case scenario, but it's nuts! A coupl...
