PRAISE GOD! We have PINK!

We receieved the news we have been waiting almost a year to hear. We are going to Guatemala to get our baby boy. We are leaving Sunday and our embassy appointment is Tuesday.We will be staying at theMarriott. Anyone else going to be there next week? let me know and we will get together. I am so Happy. I have so much to do. God is so good. What a wonderful Christmas present.
I am praying for all those still waiting. It will happen.
God Bless and Merry Christmas!!!
Jill
