Talking Breaking News – Memo Alert!

BREAKING NEWS – MEMO ALERT!

If you’re not sitting down, you probably should.

We are out of PGN!

WOW! We never thought this day would come and now it has. As we understand it, the case has been signed and is being processed out at PGN. No word on when we’ll be able to travel – they are applying for a new birth certificate and will then get the embassy appointment, etc.

First we’d like to thank God because without His Plan for us and His Amazing Grace, we would not be here today to share this with you.

We’d like to thank our families and friends and everyone who has been praying for us. You have lifted us up in prayer, laughed with us, cried with us, and restored our belief in human kindness. Words cannot begin to say how deeply grateful we are to all of you and your families, friends and churches who have also prayed for us and for Memo to come home. For two years, you have been there for us through the roller coaster ride of adoption – our smaller victories and progress, our anger, our frustration and our tears. Your kind words of support and your prayers helped us make on this incredible journey. To all of our families and friends – we are truly indebted to you. You never gave up on us or on Memo.

Through your messages, e-mails, cards, and phone calls, we know that Memo’s story has touched many lives. He has no idea just how many people in this world know his name. They have seen his face and they have prayed him home. We just know the Lord has a special plan for him. We don’t know what it is, but we know that the Lord will continue to bless him.
We can’t begin to name everyone who helped this dream become a reality. You know who you are. You know what you’ve done and for that we will always be grateful!

We have begun to compile a special book for Memo of all your e-mails and messages. If there is something you want this little guy to know someday, send it and we will save them all for him.

We will let you know as more details become available but for now - Thank you from the bottom of your hearts!
PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE PRAY WE GET PINK SOON TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

With tears I am sitting here. Thank God that this boy is coming home. It has been a long wait and no one knows why that plan was. But now its time to celebrate. Now its time to be a family under one roof.
Thank you Lord for this glorious day.

Unbelievable! Congratulations to you and your family. Without your purserverance he would not have come home. What an encouragement also for others still processing. Anna

I'm sitting here just clapping and crying at the same time.. THANK YOU JESUS!!!!!!!! I knew it was going to happen.. I'm just so happy right now I don't even know what I'm typing.
Yes, Memo is very special to all of us and will always be..
Suzanne, you and Mark have taught all of us a wonderful lesson in patience and trust and I thank you for that.. When I was down and thought I could not have gone on another day, Suzanne you told me the name of a devotional book that really helped. We may never meet but your family will always be a part of my life.
I'm so happy for you,
Kim
