Comments: Dear Erick & Tricia,
With tears in my eyes, I have just finished reading the first page of your story. I shall continue later, after the Kleenex run, with the earliest pages of your journey to bring home your lovely daughter Sophia Amelia.
I was a high-school classmate of your father's, Erick, and just received the glorious news about what your dad calls 'Our China Doll.' I've shared that news with those who are on our St. Luke High School Class of '49 list. We all join in the celebration!
My prayers will be with you througout the June surgeries -- and I shall include Sophia's intention in our prayer lists at church and among my Bible Study ladies.
God bless you and your beautiful family.

Comments: Hi Guys,
Welcome home, and congratulations! Sophia is beautiful! Leslie and I truly enjoyed reading your updates every day. You must be exhausted and overjoyed simultaneously.
What happened to the compass as you passed over the North Pole? Inquiring minds want to know!

Comments: Erik, Tricia, Sophia and Graham,
Hello, I know we haven't seen each other in many years but we keep in touch through Erik's parents and my parents. Sophia, my sister Leslie and I used to spend time with your daddy and Aunt Wendy when we were little. We had a lot of fun together playing with their tape recorder making up funny commercials and shows. As we got older life happened and we fell out of touch but we have never forgotten the good times we spent together as kids. Your daddy is a great guy and you will have a wonderful life full of love and fun. I have not had the chance to meet your mommy yet but if she is with your daddy then I know she is going to be great too! We wish you lots of love and happiness and maybe one day we will get to meet in person, until then feel free to have your parents send pictures any time.
Best Wishes,
Monica, Jeffrey, Parker and Morgan Klein

Comments: Hi!
I know you will be leaving China in just a few hours but the wonderful experience you all have had has to make you leave with a little tear for the joy you have found there. I know that a long trip will be hard on everyone but if I know Tricia she will have just the right thing for Sophia. Bon Voyage! We can't wait to see you all soon.
Love,
Mom and Dad (aka-Oma & Opa)

Comments: Hi All, It's been so much fun reading the Sophia site every day. I'm sure Sophia won't be any more of a cranky traveler than anyone else on that 13-hour flight. Last night we went to the funeral home for your grandfather. Dana was holding Graham and I asked if she thought he'd let me hold him. Dana said as long as I kept walking, he'd be fine ~ just don't stop moving. So I took him, walked to the end of the hall and back, all the while patting his back, and by the time I got back to the room, he had fallen asleep. What a sweet little guy. I know you'll all be so happy to be reunited. We'll be praying you home. Love, Gloria & Richard

Comments: Happy Easter Sophia! We also think your Daddy is a little weird, but it runs in the family! Once you get to know him, you'll find he is the best Daddy ever (next to ours of course). We can't wait to meet you - you have great clothes!
love, your twin cousins
