Yippee!!!!! There IS hope after all. That is fantastic news. Congratulations!!





All this time, I somehow thought that, now that Ceya got OUT (& just brought home her daughter), I was the person with the next longest timeline (over 3 yrs since referral) but I see you have that "distinction". So very happy that you're finally OUT. May you be able to soon bring home your other child as well.

All the best wishes to you and your family.

Damaris

Rosa,
I met you 2 years ago in Guatemala. I was on a mission trip. You and your family are such wonderful people. I am so happy for all of you.
