Oh, Amy...Those pictures are astounding and your family looks so wonderfully happy. What a gorgeous crew. Lucky us. Lucky you. We miss you TERRIBLY! and cannot wait to see you in NYC. Soon!
p.s. Not to contradict you, but I think Hope has always been faster than you and Darin! I may have seen her out run you on several occasions in China! Ha ha
Hi guys...I see you daily at the pool, but it's always madness with keeping all of our kids happy....so, nuts as it seems, I just want to send a little love note, once again, to just say once again how amazing it is to know this story and to actually see it live and in color at the pool and all around...you two are an amazing example of how to do it right...congrats on Hope's baptism, too...and thanks for sharing this awesome story of love with all of us...see you at the pool (Darin, I promise not to be in a craze at the next meet!!)...

Dearest Amy,
After seeing you the other night at the Gap, I just had to read about your journey. Needless to say, I was in tears by the second entry. Your words of Hope and unconditional love are lessons that touched my heart. Thank you for sharing your beautiful story with me. That offer for the family pic is still open.
UNBELIEVEABLE!!! I was SO AMAZED to hear your story from Lauren Barrett - we were watching the kids swimming around at Noe Pond and she told me all about your truly amazing journey!! I can't imagine a more perfect mother than you - god bless you and all of your BEAUTIFUL children!! I have four of my own - two girls, 8 and 2 and two boys, 10 and 6 - and think you are so brave and obviously devoted to bring in another!! Please keep in touch - if you ever find yourself in NJ, I would love to see you...I so enjoyed reading all about Hope and loved all the pictures!! Take care - Nicole xoxo 973-543-6290, Mendham, NJ
Hi Dinello 7 -- So happy to see/read how happy you all are -- we can't wait to see all of you and meet Hope -- My girls have been asking if we could all go to Hershey Park together this summer?? love the Cline 6!
Hi, my mom (Aunt Mare to you!) sent me the picture and web link. Thank you for sharing this touching story, I cried. All of your kids are so great.

Awe, your Hope is so precious. Great news from the doctor recently too.

Hope IS perfect and sadly people sometimes judge the book but the cover. If only we could protect our kids from everything.

Again, our "almost" perfect daughters have so much to teach us...and unfortunately people have a lot to learn. The thing is we don't see it anymore, if we ever did. But, people seeing it for the first time can be so crazy and shortsighted. I loved the poem, and the bows, and Charlie's incredible eyes...We'll get through this, and our children will be so strong and empowered to be good to others. I am sitting at my computer and listening to Sabria laugh and wish people could hear her before they see her...You know what I mean.
People can be ugly...But, our girls are SO BEAUTIFUL!
Love you, love you, love you!
What great news from the docs at Shriners! And Hope is as cute as ever in the new pics. I'm so happy her adjustment is going so well.
