Know what these 3 photos have in common? My BIG smile! Know why I am smiling SO big?...
My name changed today... that is right... my Mommy and Daddy got my new Birth Certificate declaring them my parents FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for ALL the prayers and encouragement..... I am DEFINITELY coming HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tommy, move to the side and make room for me in Tiger Country... I'll be home for LSU Homecoming!!
Susana e-mailed us tonight with the good news. Her passport will be done tomorrow and then, U.S. Embassy on Tuesday (they are closed on Monday because of Columbus Day). We should have the 2nd DNA done by Wed. or Thurs. next week. We are hoping for PINK by the week of the 22nd and travel within 2 weeks from then. Realistically, we are looking at the last week of Oct. or first week of Nov. It just depends on how long the DNA results take to make it back to the U.S. Embassy.
GOD IS SOOOOOO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU, FATHER for seeing us through!
