What a long journey this has been for you, but so worth the wait. I think back to the letter I wrote to the agency for a character reference dated 2/28/05-(yes I still have a copy of it). My closing remark was that I had no doubt you would be great parents. That you have so much love to give, and having a child would be an amazing give to you. But it would also be an amazing gift to the child as well. Sophie is a blessed and lucky little girl to have you both. We love you guys and can't wait to meet her!

Congratulations, Kim & Noel! What an exciting time. Sophie is so lucky to have you two. Enjoy the rest of your trip and we cannot wait to meet her! I am sure she will be spoiled rotten by all the kids in the court this summer. :) Take care.

WOW! A perfect threesome! Daddy, mommy, and baby make three. This picture says a thousand words. The first one is AWESOME! Count me in as another person to love her.

Definitely - congratulations! Many are joined with you in joy today.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! WOW!! What a perfect, beautiful family. We cannot wait to meet Sophie (the boys are very exited too - they've been checking the website with us too!) We hope you enjoy the rest of your time in China with Sophie & have a safe trip home!

I will hold this picture in my heart and mind until I see you in person when you bring this beautiful child home-a home filled with love and family.

Congrats guys!!! That is awesome finally in your arms... Can't wait to see you guys here!!! We are very happy for you! Take care and buy a lot!!!!
