Today is a special day for our family! On this day, one short year ago, we learned about our very special little Sofia who was waiting for us at the Datong SWI in Shanxi Province, PRC. What a wonderful day that was and what a magical ride it has been! Only God knows the true story of the intervention that brought this perfect, sweet little lady to our family. On January 6, 2005 our Red Thread got considerably shorter!
Happy Referral Day Dang Kang Ning!

The Story of the Starfish...
One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a figure in the distance. As he got closer he realized the figure was that of a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean. Approaching the boy he asked, "What are you doing?"
The youth replied, "Throwing starfish into the ocean. The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them in, they'll die."
"Son," the man said, "Don't you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can't possibly make a difference."
After listening politely the boy bent down, picked up another starfish and threw it into the surf. Then smiling at the man he said, "I made a difference for that one."
