It's true....
We are finally OUT of PGN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nightmare after nightmare, bump after bump... GOD has gotten us thru. Today was my 100th day fostering here in Antigua. Our girls are 13.5 mos old. We've been in PGN for a total of 16 weeks, we'd still be in if it weren't for hiring extra help. Our resubmit date was April 23. I do pray that each and every parent is able to be united with the child(ren) that they so long for!!
