Hi Brown Family Thank you so much for sharing your amazing journey on-line. We found your story inspiring and very meaningful. This journey is so special and we too play our Gotcha moment over and over in our heads. We are so happy to have all the on-line journals to read, giving us some kind of an idea of what we might experience once there. We wish you all a very blessed 2006 and we look forward to an update in the future.

just a stranger surfing through.. I don't have a child myself, but I'm still weighing the pros and cons. Good luck! Message Number: 90 - Mon - Aug 29, 2005 - 20:56:44 GMT
I wanted to say congratulations on the new addition to your family. I can only imagine the joy that your family feels of your new member. My husband and I are hoping to adopted but we have to wait till he turns 30. I've been looking into China for the past year but have no idea of what the process is. The only thing I do know is that we both have to be 30, but we can start the process of adoption when he turns 29. I have been looking into the adoption agency that you used to bring YuQi into your family. Since now it seems I have heard only good things from Tammy Mackinnon, not to mention the CBC reports on other families that have gone through with adopting. Our family are so supportive over us adopting. Which I'm so thankful for. As I do know that we will need it in the future. My mother even wants to go with us to China when Message Number: 89 - Wed - Jun 29, 2005 - 01:52:04 GMT
Hey what's up Message Number: 88 - Fri - Jun 17, 2005 - 17:24:41 GMT
WELCOME HOME CHRIS, NORMA & YUQI! We were so excited to be there when you arrived in Prince Edward Island. What an incredible moment. I can't believe after all these months of talking with you about YuQi and dreaming about her with you that you are all finally here!!!! We also really enjoyed your visit the other day and our boys were so thrilled to finally play with YuQi. YuQi - you definitely have no problem holding your own with the boys and can keep them hopping! I can tell you are going to have many friends and be very well loved by all the boys and girls. Chris, Norma, Marly and Jamie Lee - you are such a fun, loving family and we can already see how happy YuQi is and how well she is fitting in with your family! God is so GOOD! Love, Message Number: 87 - Mon - May 30, 2005 - 15:43:46 GMT
Chris, Pauline just told me of your new venture and I had to visit your web-site to see little Yuqi. She is absolutely adorable and I wish you and your family nothing but happiness and good fortune in the future. I am so impressed with your actions and it has only affirmed to me that you are the person I always thought you were all those years ago (33 yrs to be exact) when you doubted yourself and seemed so lost. I am so proud of you and your family! Respectfully................Kathleen Message Number: 86 - Fri - May 27, 2005 - 13:55:16 GMT
Hi Chris and Norma, I know you guys don't know me but i'm a friend of Jodi and Trevors and Jodi was telling me about your adoption. So i had to keep reading up on your journey log everyday as i thought it was such a wonderful thing that you guys were doing for this beautiful little girl. God Bless you all and i hope Yugi settles in well and have a save trip back to P.E.I. Welcome to P.E.I Yugi. patricia Message Number: 85 - Thu - May 26, 2005 - 23:44:12 GMT
Hi guys. What a blessing this evening reading your chronicles of the last couple of weeks. It's awesome to see God's love in action! Safe travels tomorrow and looking forward to meeting Yuqi soon. You're in our prayers, including Rebekah who has been praying specifically for Yuqi. This has an awesome impact not only on the adults, but on our own children as well. They are quite excited to meet her! Ryan and Kyra Message Number: 84 - Thu - May 26, 2005 - 21:47:17 GMT

I've been keeping up to date on your adventure. It's been a blessing to be able to be a part of it yet be such a distance away. To watch the changes in Yu Qi's face and eyes each time you have posted new pictures has been a testimony to God's grace and love. I look forward to meeting your newest family member and to watch God move in lives as He continues to touch hearts through this journey and through Yu Qi!

Hey Mom and Dad! We are all very anxious to meet my new little sister. This addition is sure to add more love and spunk to our family. I know somtimes I have not been respectful to you guys and havent been the best daugter but I have learned and I will now have to take my spot in this family seriously because I have a little girl who will be looking up to me, needing me to love and protect her from whatever the world my bring her. You guys are amazing parents no matter what I'v ever said to you, Yuqi is very lucky to have you as parents as am I. You have such open hearts and are ready to tackle anything, you have taken our friends in no questions asked and I dont think I'v ever thanked you for just being you. Lots of Love and I miss you Jamie-Lee Message Number: 77 - Tue - May 24, 2005 - 21:23:54 GMT
Norma and Chris, This is the first chance I got to view your website! (Barry would call me from Harvest House and read me some updates). We are so thrilled for your entire family and as we read about your journey we are blessed and encouraged in our spirits about the goodness of our Father and the plans and purposes He has for His children. We are excited for YuQi, as she grows in the understanding that she is no longer an orphan but that she "belongs" with someone and that she is treasured and what that will mean for her. Thank you for allowing us to share in this. We are so looking forward to seeing you. We love you! Message Number: 76 - Tue - May 24, 2005 - 20:49:53 GMT
The whole Brown family! You are such a close family...and the new addition is NO exception! YuQi seems to be fitting in very well!! And your family is larger still, we are all behind you and support you. I'm glad to hear that she is having good days and that you continually meet new people to help her with the struggles that are almost too foreign for me to imagine. God obviously didn't follow you to China, He preceded you! Can't wait to see you all. Love you guys. ~Kara Message Number: 75 - Tue - May 24, 2005 - 20:15:29 GMT
The Brown Family,It amazes me how the littlest things in this world can calm the fears of children. It sounds as if she is doing amazingly well! I can't wait til you all arrive in Canada. We have asked the children in the 6-8 sunday school class to pray for her each day. I pray that these prays will reach her and just keep her calm. I hope that your journey home is well and I hope to be there to see you on Friday night! If not I will see you all on Sunday morning!*BethanyMessage Number: 74 - Tue - May 24, 2005 - 19:39:09 GMT
Norma & Chris, Just wanted to Congratulate you on your new daughter, Your Mom called to give me the web sight and I've been reading it every day, it is such a touching story and what a wonderful life awaits YuQi in PEI. I'm sure it will be a little overwhelming at first for her but she'll feel so much love and contentment that it will be home in no time. John and I will be in PEI the first week of August and we look forward to meeting your new daughter. Have a safe trip home & God bless. Gail & John Message Number: 73 - Tue - May 24, 2005 - 17:05:24 GMT
Dear Brown Family, Truly, "This is the Lord's doing and He is marvellous in our sight." Blessings on each of you as you responded to His still small voice within you - including YuQi. She does not yet know Him, but she knows the feel of His touch and the comfort of His arms around her. You have embarked upon a wonderful journey together. May His light, reflected by your family into the world, guide others toward the same path of love, healing and joy! Blessings, Al, Dianne and family (who, in a few short weeks, will meet TieJian, our son waiting in Changsha) Message Number: 72 - Tue - May 24, 2005 - 14:17:46 GMT
Hi Chris, Norma and Yuqi, By now you are very close to the time you will be heading for home. You must be so excited and a little anxious at the same time. Unfortunately we won't be able to see you when you first arrive as we will be away for a couple of days but we wanted to let you know we will be thinking of you and praying for you as you travel and settle in.

p>hey guys, very admirable and courageous step that you have taken. it is inspiring to see someone follow a dream with such unselfishness and bring a child into their lives YuQi appears to be a beautifull mischevious girl, somewhat like my own daughter. i think she will bring you lots of joy as you will to her. thankfully she does not have to worry about looking like her dad ( nice whiskers brownie ) and if she is fortunate she may be as beautiful as her mom, but we all know that beauty comes within and i'm sure that your family will bring it out. by the way, can you guys drop by here in t-bay to fix my fridge, it's making this funny Brrrrrrrrrrrr sound.

Hi YuQi, I have a baby sister who is Chinese, too. I hope you can teach me some chinese words so I can talk to my sister. I hope you have a good trip coming home and I hope you have lots of love from your mom and dad. I hope you will have lots of friends when you come home (to Canada). I will be your friend. Love, Dylan Message Number: 5 - Mon - May 09, 2005 - 03:16:56
Hi YuQi I can't wait to meet you. You will really like your new parents and your sisters. I wish I had a sister. You are lucky you will have two. You will have lots of new friends on PEI too. Did you go on an airplane before? That will be fun. Maybe we will meet you at the airport when you get home. Love, Lauren Message Number: 4 - Sun - May 08, 2005 - 13:35:03
