IMPORTANT - FALL 2005 Beginners!!!!!!

O.k.
There were a BUNCH of us that started this road and were in a group called "fall beginners". I have a GREAT idea for a photo collage as I am a new MASTER of Photoshop (I just completed a photography course, so I am in the zone...haha). I made a collage of Braeden that I am really proud of!Anyway, here is what I need...
If you are interested, please pm me and I will send you my e-mail address. I will then need a photo of your little one to include in the collage. Also, I would love to catch up!!
Thanks!!!
Megan

P.s. It will basically be all of our little guys set in a background of Guatemala that I took when I was at the Quinta Real!

We aren't so good. Our son is still stuck in the rectification process to get his BC corrected. We have been KO'd from PGN on this issue 5 times already and we haven't even begun the actual adoption process yet. Our son is not legally available for adoption and may never be. We just keep hanging in there, hoping, wishing and praying.

We're in!!!

Hi Megan,

As I mentioned via e-mail already, we would love to be part of the collage!

Good to hear from other Fall Beginners! We are doing well and enjoying having Brayden home!

We, too, are Spring 2007 beginners. We started the process for #2. We are waiting for a referral and immigration. The referral should come any day, we think.

Can't wait to see the collage!
