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

Waiting For The Stork 11/27/07 Yikes tomorrow will be 20 months since lid


Waiting for the arrival of the stork. The rumor mill has been very quiet........ could almost hear a pin drop.

We are very patiently waiting for this next batch. Congratulations to all those that are expecting..... hopefully we will bridge the gap to midway through December with this next group. Currently, the CCAA states that referrals have been made through 12/8/05.

I truly hope that they get past the 15th of the month... this would then give hope that December will take about 3 months to get through. If each month takes approximately 3 months, then we should see our referral in about a year........ stinks huh....... our lid of 3/28/06, seems to be creeping along.

Well, here's to the next group. May the stork fly high, and carry a huge load this month.

We've just welcomed home a little one, and are on to the next.... can't wait.....

Foiled Again - no puppies for me 11/3/07

Well, last night I got word, that where I thought there was a puppy with my name on it, now that is'nt the case.

It seems it's as hard to bring home a Briard, as it is to bring home our baby from China.

I'm very sad........
