Mark & Jennifer’s Sweet Baby Girl, Sophia
Our experience with Adoption Center of Hope has been wonderful! Michelle was always very attentive and caring. We knew that our profile was being shown regularly. She was there for us during all of the highs and lows of the Adoption process. Michelle worked hard to always promote our family to expectant moms. We had comfort knowing that our family was always in her prayers. We had the pleasure of meeting Michelle last summer while on a long road trip. She was just as sweet, loving, and caring in person! When we received the news that we were chosen by an expectant mom Michelle shared in our overwhelming joy! She was so very happy for our family. Although Michelle was not able to be with us in Idaho where our precious Sophia was born, she connected us with another Adoption Coordinator, Trina. Trina was such a blessing to us as well. We felt close to her instantly! She really treated us like family! Our Adoption process could not have gone more smoothly. All of the events leading up to our family holding Sophia for the first time were miraculous! Everything came together perfectly, orchestrated by our Father in Heaven and completed here on earth through Michelle and Trina’s hard work and dedication! Mark and I were so nervous when we were about to meet Adriana (Sophia’s Birth Mother) and her mother Kathy. We wanted them to feel the same way about us in person that they had expressed after seeing our profile and talking to us on the phone. We wanted Adriana to feel certain that she chose the right family for her amazing little girl. We were terrified that it might be awkward or that she might change her mind. On the contrary, God created an instant and lifelong bond with Adriana and Kathy! We had the blessing of being able to visit with them for quite some time in the hospital. It was such a special time and we will never forget it! We asked Adriana some questions and she shared some things about herself that we will be able to pass on to Sophia as she grows! Adriana is so very sweet and there will always be a huge place in our hearts for her. She will always be a part of our family. We look forward to staying in touch with her over the years and sending her updates! Adriana was so brave and strong throughout the entire Adoption process, and we are so proud of her. Seeing our little Sophia for the first time was love at first sight! We feel the greatest joy to be adding another member to our family! Every day since we held Sophia for the first time has felt like the most wonderful dream come true! She has blessed our family beyond measure. Our boys, Chance and Hunter, dote on her constantly and desperately want to protect her. Sophia has brought out the best in all of us. She is the greatest gift from heaven and we treasure every second with our angel. Without Adoption Center of Hope we would not be the family of five we have prayed about for so very long. We will be eternally grateful to Adriana, Kathy, Michelle, Trina, everyone at Adoption Center of Hope, and especially our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who oversees all from above!
