Our lawyer reads our blog!

For the past two weeks we have been waiting for an update regarding where we are in the post-PGN processes. (We exited PGN on 8/31) This past Friday, when we still weren't even sure if we had been submitted for our BC, I called our agency and discovered our facilitator was escorting another child to their forever home, and would not be back to give us an update until this week. I posted this on our blog. Monday, we received an email directly from our lawyer, just saying he was "hoping for Sept 22" (he speaks very little English). We called our agency to confirm this was our Embassy date, and they had not heard anything yet. Long story short... it turns out our lawyer had found our blog and saw that we were wanting an update and was trying to let us know what he knew!! I love our lawyer right now! I have no idea how long he's been reading it.

He was right too! Yesterday we received the official PINK notice!!
