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

When we first received Baylon, we attempted to give her a bath. She was not receptive to the idea at all. We had one of those infant tubs, and we tried so hard to place her in and have her sit, but the whole process was just so traumatic. We finally sponged her off quickly, a little soap, a little water, and got our girl outta there. This was a carefully orchestrated introduction to bath time. Sorry about my hideous presence, but oh well. Eventually, Baylon settled down a bit, and we were able to give her our very first shampoo...... baby steps right ? :) RIGHT !
