Mia Grace Wilson


We would love for you to meet Mia Grace Wilson. (Pronounced Mee-a.) As you can see, we chose the little Kazakh girl. Her birthday is November 30, 2004. (another wink...it is Gavin’s parent’s anniversary) This means she is only 7 ½ months old now. We thought she was 9months old. We were given her medical history and we believe that she is half Kazakh half Russian, although her father's name is Kazakh. She is very healthy and strong, and has a serious grip!

We visited with her 2 times today, from 10-12 and from 2-4. I rocked her to sleep during the first visit today and got in trouble for getting her off her schedule! But, you know I can’t resist rocking them to sleep! It is my favorite time. She is so funny and full of energy! She smiles and blows raspberries at us. The second visit today she kept staring at herself in the mirror on a toy we brought. We get to visit in the gym everyday and there are plenty of things to do. We played with balls from the ball pit and there is a padded baby obstacle course we tried to get her to crawl on. She is almost ready. She gets up on all fours and rocks back and forth!

As happy as we are about Mia, we are equally as sad for Vleana. She is such a sweet beautiful little girl, but we feel she needs more than our family can give right now. She didn't seem to want to be with us. I know that God has a family out there for her. We will continue to pray that she finds her forever family. We ask that you do the same.

Please continue to cover us with prayer as we start to build a relationship with our new daughter. She is a real sweetie and we think you will love her too! We can’t wait to show you all the pictures we have taken.

Love and Hugs-

Sonja (and Gavin)
