Thumbs up OMG--we got Nidia's passport too!

It's true! After NOTHING in 10 wks, we got the BC and the passport on the same day. We are beyond thrilled. So this is what it feels like to get good news! And to make progress!

Hoping this continues so we can get Nidia home very soon. I had said to dkateriz that the thought of creating another Christmas card where our DS (in NY) was positioned next to a photo of Nidia still in Guatemala was breaking my heart. I'm finally believing that we'll actually have our first card in 4 yrs where the photo will have both children sitting next to each other. God, I cannot wait!

Please keep those positive vibes and prayers coming. Thanks!

Damaris

Oh my gosh! Wonderful news!!

I'd guess orange next week which means even with a t-day delay at the lab you should be pink by Dec 4 and picking up by her 3.5 birthday!!!

Get those envelopes addressed and ready now so all you have to do is stick the cards in--but it looks promising!!

Damaris,

That is wonderful news. We need to reconnect and get together. Maybe once things are more settled.
