YAYYYY! Congratulations!!! I know how hard it is to wait on that one, been there, done that. When ours finally came I opened the letter w/ a yell and jumped and hugged my daughter and goddaughter. Mind you, ours took 13 weeks, so yeah, it was hard to wait for it. It was the ONLY thing we'd been waiting on for oh, 9 or 10 weeks. within a week, we were on wait list! Hooray for you and congratulations. Celebrate this weekend, this is a big step forward! YAYYYY! Michele G
YEAH!!!! Oh how I know how frustrating the delays are. Rejoicing with you on this step of progress!!! Keep on hangin' in there .... you WILL eventually get there. Blessings~ Shelly

Seeing that letter is the best feeling! We waited 9 PAINFUL weeks.
Congrats!
Oh Guys! .... this is GREAT news! I so remember all the frustration on waiting for each document. So what's left now? Keep hangin' in there ... you WILL get through all this! :) ~Shelly
