Comments: Natalie, James, Tessa, Ian, & Juliana- Exactly 6 years ago today, Natalie was at the hospital with me as my beautiful daughter, Callahan, was born (Yes, Natalie, I TRIED to have her on YOUR birthday, but that wasn't happening!). And now here I am, seeing YOUR beautiful daughter placed in YOUR arms! Amazing how God's love just keeps going around! Tessa & Ian look like it's Christmas morning, getting the BEST gift EVER!! I am SURE that will continue...
Congratulations to you all on your gorgeous family!
Have a safe journey home...
Love, Colleen
Comments: Jim and family, I can't begin to describe the joy I just took in reading all of your entries so far... and I can't wait for more! Honestly, I could barely get through the one from the day of the adoption. It was so touching and filled with love. Juliana is so beautiful!!! Reading the posts, I couldn't help but notice the similarities between this beautiful child from halfway around the world, another culture and seemingly a much different life, and Sophia (who is just four weeks younger). They play, act, and even sing the same way. The world may be a very large place, but I think it's much smaller than we all realize. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences so far! I hope one day Juliana and Sophia can meet. Congratulations and God bless you all!! Ben
Comments: Hi everyone! I grab my Kindle as soon as I get up to check for your posts. What a relief that she is now officially yours. Natalie you look serenely happy cuddled with your two girls. I'm sure you'd like to jump on the plane home right now, but we'll all have to be patient a bit longer to see all of you again. See you soon! PS-I just love Juliana's hair!!
Comments: Keeping tabs on you through the blog and Cyndy and Roger. Just saw the pictures of little Juliana and Natalie, she looks just like you!!!!! Just teasing but she IS beautiful just like you. So happy and relieved that she is now safely in your arms and has a real family that loves and will care for her in every way. Love your journal entries and seeing the pictures. Know you are so tired but the rewards will be so worth it. Praying for continued success in every way throughout the rest of the trip and that God and the skies will be GOOD to you on your return. You have so many that love and care about you so try and relax, put your feet up when you can and return home safely so we can all breathe a moment and give thanks to God for allowing all of this to fall into place. We love you and remember you every day. Linda and Ron
