The Road to Sophie and Sawyer

The Road to Sophie and Sawyer

Somewhere in the world there are children. They are cute as a button but have no Mama to cuddle them. No Papa to make them laugh I am a Mama who is missing some children to cuddle and love and make laugh. This is our journey to bring those children to their Mama and bring Mama to her children.
