The Long Awaited Call - We're OUT!

Our Daughter Emily is finally coming home. We got the call today that we are out of PGN. We went in mid-March 2006. So many times I have almost lost hope that we would ever here good news, but it has finally come! Thank God! Thank God! Thank You!

Ben'sMom (and now, officially) Emily's Mom too!

Last Resubmit Date

Just a little background on our PGN experience:

We were in Minor's section from March til early Sept. From there we had two privios (one mid-Oct. and one Nov. 21st)

Our little girl will be 18 months at the end of this month. I'm sure hoping that Mixco can issue us a BC quickly.

Thank you for all of the well wishes.
