What a difference a few MAGIC words make!

So today I (along with some other families with those early July referrals) received some VERY magical words: You are in Step 8! Yay! Step 8--well Step 8 is BIG! I posted a bit ago about the '12 step process'. So Step 8 is usually that final step before we get the 'go get your Visa' call. It can take awhile, or not. And we may have been in this step for a bit now - or just arrived. Impossible to tell but we can hope that we are now progressing well. Pfhew! For awhile there it was touch and go and I really realized how hard this wait can be. And then, this very good news indeed. Get ready Izzy. It won't be long now.
