Finally PINK!!!

It's been a long road but Maria will be home next week. I still can't believe it! Pink this morning, Embassy appt Monday the 24th and HOME on Wednesday. We called to speak with the FM today and Maria has been crying for us "I want to go to my new Mommy. I want to go home with her to the United States". This has been hard on us but I can't imagine how hard it has been for her. She turned 6 this past July and I feel so fortunate that I was able to visit 3 times in the last couple of years. I am so excited for my husband and I'm just going to loose it the first time he sees his daughter. I'm getting gushy just thinking about it.
Thanks for all the wonderful support over the last few months and good luck to everyone still in process. It will happen...keep your faith.
