Smile Knock knock..Who's there? ORANGE...

ORANGE YOU GLAD YOU GET DNA TAKEN TOMORROW? YES WE ARE!!!! I am actually feeling quite guilty posting this since so many are struggling with overwhelming anxiety about the current crisis. We know we are so fortunate that our attorney grabbed our file quickly or we would be right there with you---this whole process is so random and arbitrary. Please know that I stress and wring my hands for all of you still waiting to clear this latest hurdle....I can't wait to see some HAPPY POSTS from everyone SOON!!! Hang in there!!!!!!

Yay!! You will be PINK in no time!! Congratulations!!

I know how you feel about posting good news, but I know that others also like to see the good news posts. It does give them hope that their time will be here soon!! It's just so unfair that so many are being scrutinized so heavily when others weren't. That's a whole other post though...this is your good news post, and we are happy to see it!!

I will be watching for your posts about stalking the DNA from the time it hits the lab till the time it gets to the Embassy and then waiting for your PINK post. Congrats and revel in your glee...you deserve it!!

BIG congrats to you!! Your journey for your little man to be in your forever arms is sooo close. Here's to speedy epink. We also got orange today---maybe we'll see you in GU.

Hear ye, hear ye...for good vibes to those waiting still in PGN/CNA issue -- don't stop believing! Your child will come home..all in due time. I know it's hard, and the process is beyond absurd! HANG IN THERE...there are a lot of people praying for you! Power in numbers...
