March is almost over and I did not want to forget to wish Sophie's brother Alex a Happy 5th. Birthday. I met his family through the Guatemala Adoption Sibling Registry and the ability to learn so much about Sophie's other adopted siblings and her 4 siblings in Guatemala has been wonderful. Fortunately for us, Alex's mom has some connections in Guatemala and gets updates on Julia every 6 months or so. The photos are priceless and the insight into where Sophie came from is beyond comprehension. I will be forever grateful to her for this. I just found out last month from her that Julia (Sophie's birth mother), decided to keep the baby she delivered in October. I hope that this works out for the family as I know that it must have been a difficult decision. When we were approached about adopting a sibling of Sophie's it was not the right time as she needed more time to adjust to us. So hopefully Alex's mom will be able to keep us updated on how the baby is doing in Guatemala through her contacts. I can tell you that Sophie and Alex look exactly alike from the photos I receive. It is so amazing as I have photos of Alex at as young as 6 months and when you compare them it is like they are her. I hope you have a Happy Birthday Alex!
