We received our referral the week of Christmas, sent our POA the first week of January and found out yesterday that we were out of PGN, thought we were still in FC, we could travel as early as next weekend!!! Just thought everone could use GREAT news and encouragement, ours took less than 3 months!!! She will be 4 months old on April 1st!!!! SCARED to death to travel but can't wait to hold her!!!

CONGRATS!!! What a wonderful feeling to know that your little angel will soon be home. You are one of the lucky ones. I received the referral on my boys Nov. 2003 and did'nt get them home until June 2004. It is so hard to be patient. Have a wonderful trip. God Bless.
