On December 30, 2006, a newborn baby was left on the steps of the orphanage in Guixi, in the Jiangxi province of China. Doctors concluded that she was likely born that same day, so she was forever assigned a birthday 2 days before the start of a new year. I wonder what we were doing that day.
Staff at the orphanage gave her a name she will keep as her middle name. Her surname was Guo, because she is a child of the nation. Her first and middle names, Yan Zi, reflect a wish that she will have a beautiful figure and will live a happy, colorful and fortunate life in the future.
We hope so too.

I am so excited for you...finally bringing home your little girl. Sophie is such a pretty name.
Enjoy your trip of a lifetime to China! Can't wait to see her, and you, when you return.
Love,
