I would like to share with the CLM community, all our friends and family some pictures of our little boy Daniel, who is weighting now almost 9 kilos and is 64 cm long. By the look of it, he will be a tall guy as his big brother Matheus. He is a sweet baby, often times he smiles, laughs and has amazing facial expressions as if he is trying to figure out where he landed. His huge black eyes screen everything and sometimes he looks surprised with what he sees, his toys, his mobile and so on. He is very focused and tries to follow the action around him, even people talking. He loves music as I do and he stays very calm listening to Mozart.
Incidentally, Daniel has also a Chinese name, Xu Yue Xuan, which means “happy”. Nothing could be more appropriate since the little guy is always happy and is very funny. The name of his brother Matheus means “the gift from God”. I just ask the Lord to make my boys decent, honest, happy and healthy human beings.
I am deeply in love with my sweet Chinese wife Angela, without her it would be impossible Daniel's existence and my two boys. Matheus and Daniel, (who are true blessings), they are all I have and I thank the Lord for their lives and for the privilege to be around them.
Angela’s immigration is on its final steps and we hope that very soon we will all be together and get on with our lives. I will let you know when she is ready to come to Canada. Meanwhile, we registered Daniel, got his “baby passport” and made the application for Canadian citizenship on his behalf.
Folks, if you really want to get that special person in this great Chinese dating site, keep focused, do not give up. As I said before, if it was possible for us, is possible for you too. Success is made of 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration as they say. When things come easy, we do not value them as much. Get on the ball, travel to China (it is a wonderful country) and see your princess face to face, there is no substitute for a personal contact, a dinner for two. Get real Chinese food, go to a place specialized in “hot pot”. In Beijing for example, they bring so much food you will wish you had two stomachs.
I wish you all the very best and may the Lord bless each and every day of your lives.
May the peace of the Lord be upon you and your loved ones.
Daniel Chermont

Thank you so much for this wonderful update, Daniel. Let me say also that the little baby looks exactly like you! :)
I enjoyed reading the quotes on children you shared with us. Another one that I like is from Marain Edelman:
"If you as parents cut corners, your children will too. If you lie, they will too. If you spend all your money on yourselves and no portion of it for charities, colleges, churches, synagogues, and civic causes, your children won't either. And if parents snicker at racial and gender jokes, another generation will pass on the poison adults still have not had the courage to snuff out."
Best wishes to both you and Angela, Daniel. I'm sure that EVERY person who reads this article will feel similarly, even if they do not put it into writing.
By the way, as I mentioned once before, experts say that due to continuing advances in medical science, children being born right now have every reason to believe they'll live to well OVER one hundred years of age (barring accidents, of course). So little Daniel quite probably will still be alive in 2120, quite amazing if you think about it.
Congratulations to you and angie!
This is the most happy thing we see!
I will be writing an article called "through the eyes of a child", I hope you will like. Three movies I suggest for you to watch (if you did not watch them already) "Big" (with Tom Hanks), "All is lost" (simply fantastic, with Robert Redford) and the "Life of Pi" (directed by Ang Lee, the famous Taiwanese director. I know you will enjoy them, Make some fresh butted popcorn or order a pizza, sit back and enjoy.
All the best, Barry, God bless you and your loved ones my friend. May the peace of the Lord be upon you always.
God bless you , Angela and your lovely baby!(I'm sorry, I made a mistake in the previous information, I was wrong your wife's name)
I'm very well and happy, I have found my boyfriend,He is an American. he is also a good man like you, a real gentleman!We are waiting for the fiancee visa ,now.
I like baby very much, I like these photos, every day I come here once, These photos make me happy!:)
"Angela just gave me the great news that she was advised by the Canadian Embassy to send her the visa fee and her passport, they will excuse her of having a formal interview, and they will return her passport with her visa for permanent resident in Canada."
Congratulations to both you and Angela, Daniel. This is WONDERFUL news indeed - best wishes to the both of you! :D
