[edit] Biography

Bah Bah Ling is the adoptive father of Francine. The name "Bah Bah" is actually Chinese for dad. He is married to Ma Ma Ling. Both Bah Bah and Ma Ma Ling did not seem to be supportive of Francine as much as her stepsister Gwen, and Stan attributed this to the factor that Gwen is their natural daughter and ethnic Chinese, while Francine is not. However, in an episode where Stan is trapped in a burning house, Bah Bah rescues him, showing he does indeed consider him to be a genuine son-in-law. Bah Bah apologizes to Stan for not being more overtly accepting, but that since Stan is a good provider to his family and loyal husband to Francine, that he felt Francine is well taken care of, unlike Gwen, whom he feels needs more attention. Stan is glad that Bah Bah has accepted Francine.
