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

WOW, long time no post - January 22, 2009

Now that the CCAA has started referring babies with March '06 log in dates......... we are starting to feel officially paper pregnant........ yet again. Rumor has it, that the stork is in the air, but that the CCAA has only referred 2 days worth........... check out the Rumor Queen for the latest rumors -

If that's the case, well we're still 2 days closer, but not close enough..................We have yet to set up our nursery....... one thing that stood in our way, besides the desire to do this, what with the wait being what it is....... but this friggin' leak that has plagued us, ever since we expanded and built several new rooms....... one being the baby's room. We finally have someone that believes, and justifiably so, just how to fix the problem. They started yesterday, and have already pinpointed 7 target problem areas, and are in the process of rectifying the issue.

It broke my heart that the only finished room in the house......leaked. We now have to break through the ceiling and pull the insulation, and redo that, and then we'll move onto the baby's room. I still think that we have a least 6 months before we see a picture of our little one, or ones........ still hopin' for twins.

Now, lets see...... ahhhhhhhhh yes, one more thing. We showed in Fitchburg almost 2 weeks ago, and whereas Pirate didn't win the Major, he did get two points - Below is the link to my boys page in the Briard section of winners and bragging rights of infodog....... we now have a total of 5 points........... we need those Major's though, and will try again in the Spring........ unless we sign up for a show in Florida. We're hoping to head south in about 3 weeks.

So that's it for now, cross those fingers and toes that the Stork is carrying multiple days of referrals........ !!!!!
