We started this journey many years ago, knowing that our daughter was waiting for us somewhere in China. That journey began in 2004, but after a setback healthwise, we had to pull out, thinking our hopes were dashed forever. Then in late 2005, with renewed purpose and strength we again began the process of our adoption. We were logged into China March 28th, 2006, and were matched with our Dear Daughter, October 13th, 2009.

Ain't They Cute ????????
My new passion seems to be a breed of dog........ when we got our Chelsea, and we kept researching all of the breeds that we thought that she could be, we were blown away by a breed of dog called the Briard. Sometimes I think it's my Chelsea on steroids......... Chelsea is a Briard wannabe.......... so, Dave and I are researching breeders, and we'd love to get another puppy perhaps this Winter. In fact, there is a litter due in October that we would love to get a puppy from...... truth is, there is a long list of people wanting pups from this litter, so we'll just have to see....... we'll probably end up with another puppy before we see our babies face. This wait is taking so long............
Above you have Savvy on the left, and Farley on the right. Farley grew up, and the two actually had a litter of puppies...... my friend Holly is the proud doggie Mom to the three pooches......... here is a picture of Giaco............. I would scoff him up in a minute is Holly would let me, but she's very content to have her Golden Retriever in a Briard suit. He's calm, cool and collected............

Our Journey to Baylon Marie BoJuYu
It's hard to believe that after 4 + years, our wait has ended, and we have been granted the most amazing, WONDERFUL, little girl.
She has exceeded every expectation, and as those that have gone before me have always stated....... you will understand the reason for the wait when it's over.... and just like everything else seen in retrospect, there can be no other child I could call my daughter, and she just wasn't ready till now.
Baylon Marie BoJuYu - you are loved more than you will ever know, and that love can only grow exponentially...... every fiber of my being embraces you as my daughter. From here to eternity, you will always be my baby......... I applaud your birth Mom for having the courage to give you a better life.... I will honor her as I cherish you, now and forever. A day will never go by, without me thinking about her, praying for her, and loving her, as I know she loves you too.
