Cathleen & Bud Dunphy
us ...
Cathleen, 42, and Bud, 44, have lived in Powhatan, Virginia, for the last several years after a job transfer from San Diego, California. Bud is from South Texas, graduated in 1988 from Texas A&M University, and currently works in sales. I (Cathleen) grew up in Northern California and am proud to have been raised in an Irish/Mexican-American family. I have worked as a cosmetologist since 1983.
Our son David, 22, attends Montana State University in Bozeman. We miss hime, but he is able to come home for visits a few times a year. We have a well-behaved but spoiled little Westie named Katie. We love kayaking, sailing, camping, bicycling, hiking, and gardening, and we are involved in our church and community. We are very excited about the new addition to our multiethnic family.
our adoption plans ...
Our agency is WACAP, and our homestudy was completed by Coordinators 2 in Richmond. We have requested a girl up to 18 months old and as young as possible. We began our paperchase in February 1999, and our dossier went to China in February 2000! We had unusual delays in all of our paperwork; any hurdle that could have been placed in front of us was. We have definitely been taught patience. We plan to name our new little one Jaclyn (after Bud's late grandfather Jack), and at times we will call her Jackie. Her bedroom has been ready for months, and her big brother has shared in all the excitement and bought her pretty dresses from Mexico on his spring break. We are all eager to have her home with us!
