Still Waiting for PGN to finally approve Big Sissy I e-mailed them last night but no responce as of yet, last week she was on the "Headquarters Desk" what ever the heck that is... But the little ones are headed back!!! My WEEK is Made!!

Congratulations... Can I ask how long the wait was from being submitted or resubmitted to PA? Our case is about to be resubmitted and I was wondering what the turn around might be now that there are not many cases left waiting on PA.

Congratulations again and I hope your stay in PGN is quick!

Ann if you do not hear anything soon like by 5pm here I would e-mail them again , so they can recieve it during business hours. Also sometimes emails have a problem going through in Guatemala. I email a friend all the time and I have to end up sending it 2 X. Good Luck I am ready for all those sweet girls to be home!
