Sofia is HOME!


Oh those sweet words...Sofia is home.

And because I'm not sure when I'll get another spare moment in the next few days of getting settled with our newest addition, I will send you over to my dear friend and "sister" Lisa at Genenetically Enhanced who was able to document us getting to the airport and some of our first few moments all together as a family.

Oh what a sight to see, our three golden boys waiting for us with Nana and a group of my closest friends and fellow "sisters". Thank you everyone for all the love and support. It means the WORLD to us.

Sofia's Homecoming!

I'll post again soon with how things are going as a family of six and some more photos and videos of the boys with their new sister and how Sofia adjust to being home in California.

Much love and blessings to you all!

    SOB SOB SOB. I remember this moment so much from when we brought Nika home! OMG, and I remember how weird it was to get to the car and have to buckle in 3 kids instead of just 2. So happy for you guys!!

    I am in tears right now, I have been so blessed by your journey to adopt Sofia. Thank you for sharing your hearts and story. I also have 3 boys and my 3rd who will be one in July has Down syndrome. I have always had the desire for a girl and if it is in God's plan we hope to adopt one day. Thank you for being such an inspiration. God bless!

    OMG this was great. My favorite part was when Sofia was waving her little hand at everyone, right up until I saw Joaquin give her a kiss then that was my favorite part! Congratulations on being home!

    So happy for you all. (Yes, the waterworks are flowing.) That sweet first kiss between big brother Joaquin and baby Sofia was the sweetest thing ever. Your journey is over, and now a new one will begin! Was a pleasure and an honor to follow along. I have truly learned so much and experienced much wonderful change through following along on your journey. God Bless You All and Congratulations!

    So incredibly sweet watching the homecoming. Most impressive was JOAQUIN with his walking. How exciting was that to see.......

    I loved his greeting to his new baby sister as well, too precious.

    Welcome home Sofia!
