I've Stopped Crying and Shaking

Well at least long enough to post that

WE ARE OUT OF PGN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It took me 3 tries, but I finally got through to Laura at PGN who told me we were approved 2 days ago, February 6th.

My poor husband gets a call from his sobbing wife telling him the news, our little girl is coming home.

The next step is the final birth mother signature. Once that happens, Lili is legally the daughter of Dave and Debbie Weeks.

We will still need a new birth certificate issued and a 2nd DNA test completed, but we hope to be back in Guatemala sometime the end of March or beginning of April to pick her up and bring her home for good!!!!!!

Now I can really start planning for her arrival. Someone should call Target, Baby Depot, and Kohl's to alert them that I'm armed with a credit card and ready to shop :-)

    Congratulations! I know that wonderful feeling of getting out of the black hole that is PGN. We got out on 1/24. We are now waiting on Orange, and I will tell you that the wait after PGN is absolutely horrible! I am so ready to go get my daughter, but at least you are one step closer to bringing home your daughter! Congrats again!
