A Sigh of Relief

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, that's me breathing an incredible sigh of relief. After nearly 8 months in Minors Section, our case has been sent back to "regular" PGN!!!!!!

I wish that there was some way for me to share with you just how BIG this is! I mentioned before that the case had a legal "issue". . . well, we've had more than one occasion when it has seemed like all hope was gone. Then there would be hope again, then it would fade again. This has been a bumpy ride, and the ride is not over - we still have to get through PGN! Now we are on hold pending some other legal issues (not specific to our case).

We first got the news (in a mixed message sort of way) that our case was out of Minors on Wednesday. On Thursday, our lovely & wonderful translator called the PGN to verify that our file was in "regular" PGN - yes, it was! It has taken until today for me to really let this sink in . . . after so much doubt and so much fear, today my confidence is building that we will really get to bring our boys home! WOW! WOW! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't expect our PGN approval to come any day soon, but I can really expect that it WILL come one day. And I am so grateful.



Enjoy these new Pics of the beautiful boys :)

Jimena,

Su Inglés es muy bueno! Thank you for the homework.

I have their big brown eyes stuck in my head, too :)

The first child that I ever sponsored was in Lima, so I smiled and thought of Cristian when I saw your comment.
