Out!!!! 6 Years 8 Months 3 Days ......
 The bananas may not be dancing, but we are!!!! It has been 6 years, 8 months and 3 days since we started this adoption. Pinch me! It appears that our file was ready for pick up last Friday, April 18th. It was picked up Tuesday, April 22, 2008 and we received an e-mail at 8:09 p.m. notifying us that we are OUT. Thank you God. This has been an extremely long journey for our family, but well worth the wait. Would I do it again, knowing all the ups and downs.....in a heartbeat! Love has won out! Thank you all for your prayers. Much love!
