Our DNA sample was in the TESTING stage for 13 days! Can you believe it? They said they had to run some extended testing on the sample. But now it is done and a match!!! I also found out last night (after beginning to totally stress out about DNA) that we are out of family court for sure (we were told yes, then no, then unsure, but now sure!). So now onto PA and PGN!! I'm so excited!!

So glad to hear it, Mandy! Two steps closer to getting her home. Maybe it takes the edge off of missing her so much?
