We adopted our son in June 2002, and he will turn 5 in a couple weeks. His adoption was so smooth and easy, we weren't prepared for what we've gone through with our current adoption. We are now adopting a 7 year old girl whose picture we saw on a photolisting. Started the process in Dec. 2005, and have been in PGN since July 7. Went into minor investigation around Sept. 1, though birth mom is not a minor, out of investigation around Sept. 27. I don't know where our case is now, I guess back to the PGN reviewer. Waiting for a KO for POA because the girl's birth date was wrong (an error I found on DNA report). We are no longer holding out hope that she will be home for Christmas, or her 8th birthday.
