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. GOTCHA 12/14/09 Forever Ours 12/15/09

The Countdown BEGINS !!!!!! 12/9/09




We tour the Great Wall on December 12th along with the Forbidden City....... still packing, so much to do. It's been hard thinking about so many wonderful things to come, and still feeling the loss of Kirby. I'm trying to make a conscious effort to look to the future and be a good Mom to Baylon.

I wonder what she will be like, will she be funny? Serious? Sad? Hoping for smiles and not too many tears.... well, just mine are okay.

Wow........ it's been such a long, windy road to reach this point in time. We've been wanting our baby since 2004, and in a few short days, she will finally be in our arms......... our windy road has been as long as, uh, The Great Wall Of China !!!!!
