Happy 1st Birthday Sofia!

We promise you that this is your FIRST and LAST birthday spent alone. We hope your day is good and that someone in the orphanage loves all over you. If not, know that we are sending you our love and we will make up for this missed 1st birthday for the rest of your life. We love you! We give you the gift of a FOREVER family this year and we are working as hard as we can to bring you home AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

Our birthday cake for you....



All three of your brothers took time to sing and blow out your candle for you. Each made a wish. Diego's wish is that you come home soon to us. Mateo's wish is that you are here for your next birthday. And Joaquin's wish was a grin from ear to ear and a "bravo" clapping session!

Happy Birthday Sweet Sofia!

  4. What a beautiful cake!!! Sofia is going to be one lucky gal with all of those boys fussing over her!!! Of course, she'll also be as tough as my Josi is BECAUSE she has brothers--would much rather go outside and play hockey than stay inside playing dolls (although she loves her baby dolls too). :)

    Happy Birthday Sofia!

  12. Jennifer-
    I have not blogged since Christmas and have been overwhelmed with my day-to-day life, so I have not checked in on my blog friends.:( I happened to do a Google search tonight to check on the dates of the DS convention in Florida this summer. The second search result said something about "the Sanchez Family adopting" and it was for your upcoming benefit dinner. I freaked out and clicked on it, and it was true, it was you! I am tearfully excited for you, I am ALWAYS thinking about the orphans from Reese's Rainbow and I am familiar with Sofia, have always thought she was completely adorable and of course I am fond of her name. CONGRATULATIONS! What a wonderful new adventure for your family. Deeply hope to do more in the future for these sweet babies...will be sending a donation to her grant fund now!
