We finally met Sophie the first week of June. We flew to Panama City in Florida. We have been talking on the phone and exchanging e-mails for a while before we met.
I will never forget the time David said "there she is" when we saw her get out of her car. I guess I can never quite describe how we felt. We spent some time getting to know more about each other. We even met her son, Corey. We also shared a meal with Sophie's mother, brother and sister.
We had our "match meeting" with our adoption counselor. This was the official meeting where we declare to each party that we "really like each other". David and I shared our history, family values, motivation for adoption, and expectations. Sophie also shared with us her story and why she chose us to be the parents of her child. What a great gift! She is a strong-minded, smart, and beautiful person. We love her like family already!
