As I said to Leifjackie, Friday was a great day: you FINALLY have PINK and she has BC for DD #2! I'm so happy for you both. Now all we need is for Leifjackie's DD#1 and my DD to get OUT so all the girls would be home. I think that would be the 3 LONGEST TIMERS on this forum finally bringing home their children. At least I hope that 3 yrs for me and Leifjackie and 7 yrs for you is the most anyone has waited.

Wishing you a joyous reunion with your daughter. She's a sweet child and I know she is looking forward to being home with Mami and Papi and little sister. Your family is a true inspiration. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

HAPPY, HAPPY DAY!

HOLY COW, CEYA!!!!

PRAISE GOD!

I am so very glad to hear this. I haven't been over here in a few days, but I was hoping to see this was really happening for you! Praying for an awesome, bump-free pick-up trip and a smooth transition after all these years.

God bless your family!

Much love,
