pink....pink...pink

Just wanted to post that we are finally at the end of our journey (well, nearly). Our daughter was born a week after Easter last year. And she will be home the last weekend of April....two more weeks to wait, then HOME FOREVER! http://forums.adoption.com/images/smilies/love01.gif


Best wishes to all of you still in process.

(forgot to post our embassy date -- April 24)

Looks like you had some hold-ups with your BC or something. I'm sure glad to see you got one of the earlier appointments! Every day makes a big difference to us parents!!! Congrats!
