Last night we had the most amazing privilege - we were able to Skype with Big Sophia and our Sophia for almost 1/2 an hour! Yesterday was the first time I had ever Skyped and the first time I did it I was able to spend a few minutes talking with Brooks in China (Noa is SO beautiful!) and she was able to tell me about her visit to Starfish and getting to see our Sophia. She took our care package to Sophia and got to spend a few hours at the foster home. It was so nice to get to talk to her!
Later in the evening, Sophia was also able to Skype with us and we got to hear our precious little girl's voice. Oh my goodness. Let me just tell you we were all dying to reach right thru the computer screen to hug her tight and kiss those sweet cheeks! Even Jackson kept saying "I want to hug her!"
Big Sophia translated for us and we heard little Sophia say Mamma, Baba (daddy), the words for elder brother and elder sister when she saw the kids. She pointed to her eyes, ears and nose when asked where they were. She blew us kisses when we blew them at her and even smiled a bit when we played peek-a-boo with her. We could tell she was a bit shy and probably a bit confused over seeing us in the computer screen talking to her, but she was so good to sit still so long and let us ooh and ahh over her!
We continue to be so amazed at the amount of contact we have and the updates we are blessed to get on our little one and we are SO grateful as we count down the weeks until we can go get her!
Till next time,
Karee
