Finally IN....want OUT already...

Well, we found out today that we went into PGN on 7-18 (at least that's a couple of days that I wasn't worrying about PGN since I thought we were still in family court!).

Now, the real wait begins......but any step in the right direction is good news and we're gearing up for our visit trip. Two weeks from right now we'll be in Guatemala with Mariah Grace.....probably looking adoringly yet clue-less-ly at our precious baby.....I've got my lists and notes from Ran and Donna who've gone before me so I'm not too terrified!!!!

I hope that we are the one case squeezing into PGN that shoves a whole bunch of other cases OUT!!!

Kathy

Welcome to PGN!! LOL

I second your sentiment about being in and now wanting OUT!! (an approved OUT of course)

Here's to hoping/praying that PGN picks up the pace!

Congrats!!

Enjoy your visit with your precious little girl.

Joy
