We finally got DNA authorization!!

Just when I was really losing my patience, and thinking
that this was not going to happen AGAIN we got email
today letting us know we have DNA authorization.
I pray that it is a match. I cannot wait until we get the
results, and can finally hold our baby!!!!

I am so happy for you. We have been waiting since the end of January to get DNA authorization. It is sooooooo FRUSTRATING. We are still waiting. What is the hold-up? Does anyone know? Does it have to do with all the political talks right now? I know PGN is slow but why is DNA testing taking so long? We had hoped to have our baby home this month but alas that won't be happening.
