That is GREAT news! If the attorney picked up the file yesterday, what took him or the agency so long to notify you? Heck, who cares? You are OUT of the black hole! Congratulations!!! I know you're going to enjoy every minute of your time with Kate.

Bring on the bananas...you've waited long enough for them. :b anana:

And while we're at it, let's strike up the band

Oh Kim!!!!! So excited!!! Maybe we will end up on pickup together!! (Although I hope it's b/c your case FLIES through and not b/c ours drags out one second longer than expected)

Can't wait for you to go squeeze your DAUGHTER!!

(I can't believe I forgot the bananas!)
