OMG-Guess What? WE'RE OUT!

FINALLY!!!!!

OK, I know we haven't been waiting as long as some of you. But I got THE CALL JUST NOW!!!!

Shame on me, but I'm telling you folks before I tell my husband!!! (In fairness to me, he's in the car on his way home and is unreachable)

Our agency says it will probably be about 3 weeks until pink slip. That seems pretty rapid though.

How long are your pink slips taking?

For those of you who will ask (because I always do), here is our timeline:

born 3-13, referred 3-24
fc, 6-15 until 9-15
DNA results on 9-15
entered PGN on 10-23, kicked out on 11-24 (POA)
re-entered 1-09-04
cleared pgn 1-29-04

Thanks to ALL of you for your support, prayers, encouragement, advice, experience, and everything else you've been for me these past several months!

I'm going to get ready to tell my husband!!!!!

Love,
trice

Wonderful news! Congratulations! Enjoy the moment!

We were released from PGN on 1/9/04 and just got the birth certificate today, finally. We were told we would travel in 3 weeks, but it will be 3 weeks tomorrow and we just got the bc today. It seems they are a little slow.

You never know though, some are coming out quicker. Good luck!

congrats

We were out on 1/9 - BC took the longest - like a week and a half - but there was president change over.

We were released yesterday and are leaving Sat.

Good luck.

I just KNEW It!!!

Congratulations trice!!!

I just knew that we would get the good word soon! And we did, both of us! WOW, God is good!!!

We will probably go over together!! They told us about 3 weeks too! If so, we gotta hook up!

Maybe we will even be on the same plane??!!! PM me with your travel details when you get them and I will do the same!

I shared on the board before I told my hubby too, he was in CA on business and was not answering his cell phone!


YIPPEEE!!!

Our babies are coming home!
