GREAT NEWS!!!!

Oh, my goodness I still can't believe it. Tonight while I was on chat (YES, I have a problem) our Executive Director Sue was on as usually. Well, I thought what the heck I'm going to ask "IF" she has received any news on Joshua's new bc (birth certificate). You see before you receive PINK (which is that ALL important embassy appt.) the BM (birth mom) has to sign the final document, a NEW bc showing you as the parent needs to be issued and received, passport ordered and lastly DNA charged to your card and performed. Joshua was born in Guatemala City and the "usual" turn around time on bc's there is 2-3 wks. So, since we just got OUT on Aug. 30th I thought for sure she wouldn't know anything but, there again there she was and there I was SO I asked. To my own UTTER shock and AMAZEMENT she said YES the BC is done and the passport is being done. I could not believe it. Then my WONDERFUL friend Julie asked me if I've checked to see if it's been charged. As I was telling her NO I haven't I will check tomorrow and she said why don't you check now. Sue, pops in and tells me that the cc has been charged. Yet, again I was SHOCKED. So, what does this mean? This means that DNA will take place in a few days and we just might be issued "PINK" at the end of next week or beginning of the following week. I still can't believe it. The US Embassy will be closed for appts. starting (I believe) the 17th-24th so, we will not be traveling then but, more thank likely Joshua will be in my FOREVER arms then end of September or beginning of October.

My dad was hoping to have him home for "Grandpa's" birthday on Oct. 4th so, you never know it might just happen. As for my WONDERFUL husband I do believe he will be watching midnight madness and cheering on UK with his son. I still can't believe it!!!!!!!!
