Comments: Hi! I get to say what I want this time. I wanted to say that it's hard to believe that in China, Lin Chong couldn't go a day without crying. The last time she cried was about three weeks ago when I dropped her (didn't mean to do that!) When I dropped her I was flipping her upside-down and throwimg her on the bed (you can figure out what happened!)

Comments: Hi Aleina! I missed you at my birthday party. I hope you can come over sometime soon. Maybe we can go to Build-a-Bear together sometime. I keep saying, "Talk to Aleina later?" I can also say Red Sox Sarah is very happy about that. See You Sometime Soon, Lin Chong

Comments: Hello Aleina, How is my little sister doing? I really miss you while i am at school. I think about you everyday! I look at the picture that we took of one another every day before I leave for class. It right in front of me by my desk so i can see it all the time! Well I thought i would just write to you so when you look at this when you are older you know that i was thinking about you when i was away at college. i have to go do some homework. I will be home in 15 days for 5 weeks!!! So i can spend all the time in the world with you! I can't wait to see you when i come home. So probably have gotten so big and so beautiful. well i really got to do so much homework. Oh i just want to tell you that you have a wonderful mother! She is the best mother that anyone could every ask for. So i will see in a very short time. I know that we won't be able to read this but i know that one day you can you will remember me whenever i will be. I miss you very much and i love you lots.
Love you, Your Big Sister, Ashley Edith

Comments: Hi,
I found your website through an adopt talk website last night. Your daughter is lovely, and I wish your family all the best.
We adopted a girl at 2 years old and eight months a few weeks before you from Central Russia, after withdrawing from the China program because of the very long wait. Our daughter came home August 25. We have dealt with some of the same issues that you mentioned in your post last night. We also have an older biological child, who is 9, although I think that the issues are related to the girls being toddlers, and not infants.
If you would like to e-mail me, please do!
Take care and all the best,
Grace

Comments: Hi Donna,
I enjoyed the update and pictures of Aleina, but I am very sorry to hear that she may have 2 holes and the issue with her palate. I know that she will be just fine and most importantly she has an awesome family full of people that love and adore her. We miss you and Jason and hope you guys had a nice visit when you arrived home. We will be keeping Aleina in our prayers. Talk to you soon.
Love, Jonni

Comments: Donna and family,
I am so glad that things are going well. I look forward to meeting my new great-niece. Jason told me all about her and i could tell she has a special place in her Uncle Jason's heart. Strong Memorial in Rochester is very good for the children's heart problems. Hannah went there and also Sherry. I can not say enough good things about them. I am going away next week. leaving on the first and back on the 10th, maybe after that I can meet Aleina. I will say many many prayers and put Aleina on our prayer list at church. Until I hear from you again. God Bless you all. Love you guys. Aunt Linda A.
