Out of PGN!

This evening on my way home from work my cell phone rang. It was Carol on the caller ID. "Hi, this is Jennie," I answered. "Hi, Jennie. This is Carol," she replied. "Hi, Carol. Do you have good news for me?" I asked. The words that change everything followed.... "You are out of PGN. Kennedy is legally yours!"

The rest of our call was brief. I couldn't really process anything else. Those words just kept echoing in my head. I carpool with my Aunt Trudy and her friend Sue. They both kind of knew what just happened, but wanted me to verify. "I can't," I said. "I promised Brit he would be the first one to find out!" I picked up the phone and called home. No answer. I called Mama's house. "Mama, is Brit there?" He got on the phone and I delivered the news. He then told Mama. It took an eternity to get home. I couldn't wait to give Brit a big celebratory hug! We then started calling and emailing EVERYBODY before going out to dinner and then to Cub Scouts.

The BIG question: WHEN CAN YOU GO GET HER? The answer, most likely between 4-6 weeks. She needs to get a new birth certificate and a 2nd DNA test and then we wait to hear when our Embassy appointment is scheduled for. We'll let you know as soon as we know!

Thank you all for your support, prayers, and friendship. We can't wait until you can all meet Kennedy Marguerite Seigler-Lewis! Believe me, she is even sweeter in person!
