My own fairy tale story!

When I got up yesterday morning, April 29th, I knew it was a special day... it was The day of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s Wedding. Never in a million years would I have imagined that I would receive an email from Elaine saying our Dossier was OUT OF IBESR!!!! What a feeling that was. I was on the side of the highway with my blinker reading the email:

From: Dixie at GLA [mailto:dixie@glahaiti.org]
Sent: Friday, April 29, 2011 12:07 PM
To: Babineau, Elaine (SD/DS)
Subject: OUT OF IBESR
Dear Elaine,
The Cormier dossier is out of IBESR and needs to be put into Parquet and the courts. We need the family to make arrangements to come to Haiti and appear in front of the local judge and also the civil court judge. They will need to be here about 3 days. Melissa, the adoption coordinator, is in Canada visiting family and will return to GLA tomorrow.

I my knee caps were shaking so bad I was not able to get back on the highway right away. I got that same feeling once before. It was when my friend Renelle called me that she was in labor and I had to drive her to the hospital… I had a standard car at the time and she almost had to drive LOL! So then the phone calls started… Called Victor, Nicole and Renée. Try to get my mom on the phone during the day is like trying to find a needle in a stack of hay! 

I really felt like I was in a fairy tale… I am finally going to meet MY PRINCESS!

I’ll blog again soon with the trip details!!!! When and who is coming with us.  Renée really wants to come and Nicole was there at Christmas so not sure what she is going to do... and if there is room at GLA for 4 of us.
