Dear Caroline and family,
Your journal entries and photos have provided my husband and I with the wealth of information that we have been seeking about the adoption process we are preparing to embark on ourselves.
Without knowing you, we are so happy for you, and for Julia and Alexandra.
Also, you have given us hope and helped to shape our dream of our own family.

Hello Postons family from Bogota, Colombia... It has been a very sad weekend with you gone and saying goodbye to Barb and the kids all within a few days. I see you haven't received my post from yesterday (who knows?) but anyway, we are so very glad you made it home safe and secure. We hope you are enjoying your bed and homemade breakfasts' and clean room and dinners prepared, oh wait, that's right, you're not here.... Sorry !!! Only kidding. We hope everything is well with little Alexandra, that she is getting comfortable in her new surroundings. Remind Julia that she promised me that she would help take care of her little sister. We miss you guys and look forward to seeing you all in July. May God Bless you always. Boy we miss those smiles from that beautiful baby.

Hello again...I am sitting here at work and just read your last journal entry from Bogota and it brought tears to my eyes. It also makes me realize how lucky I was to be a part of such a special group of parents and children. I imagine you are at the airport right now, and hopefully, have checked in without any delays. Have a safe trip home, a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year. I will keep in touch. Love, Suzanne xoxoxoxox to Julia and Alexandra

Congratulations to your entire family. Allowing us to "live" your daily experiences is a remarkable undertaking. Craig, I am surprised that neither of the girls was wearing a Bengals' jersey... I'm glad to see that Caroline is responsible for dressing Jules and Alexandra. I have contacted the Department of Highways and they are updating the Melrose population sign. Safe trip home.

Dearest Caroline, Craig, darling Julia and sweetest Alexandra...
Farewell is approaching fast, and it is very hard for me to say goodbye, so let's leave it at "hasta luego"...Congratulations you are a truly extraordinary family, your sensitivity, patience, continuous smiles, commarderie, intelligence and curiousity is an example for all. I will miss you very very much. Julia has been a ray of sunshine for me on these rainy Bogota days. I love her very much, and will always be here for all of you!!!
We are so blessed that the Postons "crossed our path"...
Please keep in touch once you are settled in, we hold you in a very special place in our hearts. Thank you for allowing us to be your hosts, and show off the beauty of Colombia and its people. Muchos besos...

Hi there! We're so glad that you'll be home soon. What an adventure this has been for you! It will be so exciting to get Alexandra home to Canada - where she can see her first snow! You'd better bundle your little peanut up, it's cold here today! Have a safe trip home. We're thinking of you.

Hi Craig, Caroline and Julia:
We are very pleased to hear about your new addition, Alexandra. I guess we will all have to put up with another Bengals and Bruins fan, as I am sure you will show Alexandra Robin the way to those fan clubs. Congratulations and we hope to catch up with you soon.

Alexandra is beautiful baby! We had to smile at the photos of your girls sleeping - Alex with her arms outstretched and Julia with her arms over her head! Looks like they're getting ready to do a cheer! (Must be thinking of how lucky they are to have you as parents!) What cuties!
Thinking of you.

We enjoy reading your journal reports, Craig, and are so relieved to hear that Julia's tests have gone well so far. We will stay tuned. Your description of your "calm" reaction to her episode reminded us of Steve when I fell and broke my wrist at the cottage. He was running around getting dressed, yelling at Riley to get dressed and grabbing the boat key all at once. I guess that's why males aren't mothers. You have certainly had a busy week! Thanks for sharing your experience with your photo gallery, Caroline - it is wonderful. We'll hope for a quick decision by the judge for you all.
Love,
Cathy and Steve

We are so happy to hear the Julia is ok and that the test results showed no problems. We can see that you are really enjoying your stay in Bogata with all of the shopping and site seeing you have done. We love all of the pictures you have put on the website.

Hello Craig, Caroline,to Big Sister Julia and to the Beautiful Alexandrea! I enjoyed reading your journal to-day. It brings back such warm memories.

Hi Craig, Caroline and crew,
We greatly appreciate the detailed updates, and I am green with envy, as there are no golf outings to be had in these parts given the cold snap and the snow. I hope you tapped into my email sent at the eleventh hour prior to your departure with a few suggested outings. Regardless, it appears that you are keeping very busy, and that things are going well. The FANA tour is always a highlight, and I think you very effectively captured the environment in your description for your friends. We're very excited for you both, and we look forward to seeing all 4 (!!!) of you upon your return. Remember, no trip to Bogota is complete without a visit to Norberto's! I might have missed this in a past entry, but I don't think you have experienced the smoothest shave in the world!!
Stephen, Martha, Tim, and Lily Wenn <timshome2603@rogers.com>

Hi Caroline and family! Thank you for posting all of your pictures! I just went through several of the photo albums and read some journal entries! What a great time you're having! Yes, I doubt Julia is missing out on "education" from not being in school this month... :) London is cold and very windy, so please enjoy all the sunshine viacariously for me! Your new baby is beautiful, congratulations once again.

It's been a few days since I've looked at your journal and photos. Boy have you all been busy!!! It was rainy here in London yesterday (Nov 11) buy not quite the done pour you experienced.
Your new daughter looks adorable and I can see her big sister just loves her.
Congratulations to you all and look forward to reading your journal entries and viewing your pictures. I can't wait to see Alexandra in person. Caroline, it's ok to go crazy with the digital camera, aren't they the greatest invention? Bye for now, your friend Liz

You have made us feel as though we are right in Bogata with all of you. Reading your journal entries everyday and viewing all of the beautiful pictures Caroline has taken has allowed us to share the joy and happiness you are all experiencing in Bogata. We are so very happy for all of you. You are a wonderful, beautiful family and you can see the love and the bond that has developed with all of you there at Betty's place.

Hi gang - Due to our quarterly release and an office move, I have not had the chance to read your daily diary excerpts until now. Wow (Craig) - you are truly prolific! But then again, with a couple of beautiful daughters like you have, I suppose that there is lots to write about. Alexandra is absolutely gorgeous and I am sure that she and Julia will be great friends. We met Betty at the FANA Fashion Show (what a lovely person) and she gushed about you guys, particularly #1 daughter. It sounds like things may be a bit slow again, but hopefully we will be able to spend some time down there sooner rather than later, although it definitely will not happen while you are there. You can be sure that we be at the airport to meet you when you get back. See you soon. Dave.

Congratulations on your second blessing and Julia's promotion to "big sister". You are a wonderful family and as soon as you get back, settled and things are running smoothly, we will be by with 2 pairs of figure skates and plunge you into the cold dark despair of arenas for the next 20 years! You'll emerge somewhat worn, weathered and grey(er) but the girls will love it......and it keeps them away from the boys which is obviously going to be a problem for you. Enjoy your wonderful new beginning in Columbia and have a safe journey home. Love Fred, Vicki, Ainsley, Trevor & Tyler Tomczyk

Sounds like the whole experience has been just unbelieveable. You deserve it. By the way, Craig, the Bruins are doing just fine without you. The Bengals, however.... Look forward to seeing you soon.

Congratulations Caroline & Craig! Wow Julia! This is such exciting news! What a lovely picture of your beautiful new family. It was meant to be! We are so happy for you. The kids say Alexandra is really cute and they would love to hold her sometime. Lisa still thinks Julia should hide her favourite toys on the top shelf when you get home. "It's not the same now that you have a sister!" Rob, meanwhile wants to know if you'd like to get a little boy too. "Boys are are more fun than girls, no?" Ahem.
Thanks for sharing your adoption journey with us. We still remember those first few days when we met the kids too. Life will never be the same. That's a good thing! We wish you all the best during your stay in Bogata.

Thanks for dropping by before you left, Caroline. Since I had the day off and therefore didn't get to talk with you, let me wish you a very smooth and rewarding time with Robin, both while in Columbia and after your return. No doubt, you'll visit the office sometime soon after you're all settled in at home. I look forward to seeing you and your daughters then, so please make sure you drop by again! The very best to you all!

Dear Julia,
I am very excited that you have a new baby sister! We now have a real baby to play babies with us. Hopefully you will know how to change the diaper ?
Remember, if you need to get away for some quiet time , I am right across the street! My Mom says you are welcome for sleep overs any time especially if Robin cries alot.
I am sad you will not be here to trick n treat with me this year on Halloween ... but that is ok because you are getting a real big treat in Columbia!
Have lots of fun on your trip and I can't wait to meet Robin when you get home. Do you think she will like horses as much as you and I do ? Maybe Rexy will have a sister too ???
Lots of love from your playmate and next door neighbour!
Madison Fisher
XO
P.S. Lots of love and well wishes from my Mom and Dad too! Mommy can't wait to cuddle with Robin.
Congrats from Jenn & Tom !

I cried proud tears and tears of joy. Proud knowing that in your warmth and unconditional love, you have brought little Robin into your hearts and lives. Tears of joy knowing that the love and morals you have imparted to Julia will transcend to little Robin.
Julia will be a wonderful big sister. You are all truly blessed.
Paul and I wish you a safe journey as you meet your new "blessing". As we say in Guyana "walk in the corner". meaning take good care and stay safe.
Keeps the updates coming.
As always
