Almari's is 2 today!
It is a special day!!!
 It is true that time heals all wounds and bad memories fade with the years. I had forgotten all the drama concerning her birthdy last year until late this afternoon. Last year the day before her birthday we found out that her Birth mother was refusing to come back to sign the corrected forms the US Embassy needed, so we could get back into PGN after 3 months of being KO'ed. For over a month, the bad attorney had been lying to us and telling us that it was just a matter of getting everything in order to put us back into PGN. So last year, I almost refused to call Almari for her birthday. My DH told me we had to believe that she would come and sign, so we called. All that was a faint memory since this year she is here for us to hold, hug, kiss and tell her we love her while holding her to our hearts. All the in process family, stay strong and BELIEVE!
