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

Day after day, new people come into our lives......... day after day, old acquantances can become new. People that have played a seemingly inconsequential role in our lives, suddenly are cast as a key player. More often than not, these people do not get the recognition that they deserve.

Currently, I am experiencing such an event. A person that is intertwined in my life has made quite an impact. We have gone through some of the same twists of fate that life has to offer, and suddenly a deep friendship has blossomed.

I just want to say thank you.............

An outstretched hand......... taken in good faith, can become a bridge - if it's strong, that bridge, will go in both directions.

Still waiting........ soooooooo here's my boy :>)

This is the latest......... so perty........

We are gearing up for a bunch of new shows........ starting March, Pirate will begin showing again....... we'll show in W. Palm Beach....... and then in Raleigh N.C., followed by Springfield, MA, Harrisburg, PA and ending, at least for now in Springfield, MA.

Crossing our fingers, toes and all body parts for referrals to increase over the coming months......... we may see our baby's face soon...... !!!!!
