YES!!!!!!!!!!

Remember that DD was approved in PGN around mid-Oct. of last year? Well she didn't have pink until the 6th of December and wasn't home until 18th of December....

My work was giving us a terrible hassle about the PGN decree and the fact that we were no longer inside of the 60 days. I had to explain to them that even though she was "ours" we COULDN"T go and get her until we had the BC, the passport and then pink....I had to explain it to them over and over!!!! DUH!

The whole thing sent them into "orbit"....They couldn't get over the fact that the adoption process from Guatemala didn't fit into their standard "mold". DD, DH and I sat there for 45 min. to an hour as they poured over our ENTIRE set of paperwork from POA to Pink. I was SO mad by the end and told them I was uncomfortable with them having "access" to my DD's personal infomation (her social report, how she became abandoned, etc.) They could tell I was getting mad!!!

In the end they decided to use the date the Visa was issued because even though she was "mine" prior to that, we could not have brought her home before then.

I hope you have a better time than us!!!
Good luck!!
