DNA on it's Way

I emailed off and on today with Ines at Intelligenetics Lab in South Carolina. I wanted to see if she could use my FedEx or UPS account so that she could send it the fastest possible international overnight option available. She was able to do this. I also inquired of another adoptive parent from my agency. Her daughter's DNA was received at the lab one day after Charlotte's. I asked that if hers was done to please include it in the envelope as well. So, both of us are now stalking the same FedEx envelope. I did of course just check and it is en-route. It could arrive as fast as tomorrow afternoon. I am hoping and praying this is the case.

It is not usually the case that the DNA arrives at USE and they issue the "PINK" slip the same day.(on a rare occassion it has happened) PINK's are usually done the next business day or two. However, I of course have hit another snag - Labor Day. The USE will be closed on Monday. That's why I really want the DNA there tomorrow. If it doesn't get there until Tuesday the soonest I go PINK is Wednesday 9/3. Any way I look at it, I'm thinking that my appointment at the USE will be sometime between 9/9 -9/12. I am hoping for sooner rather than later. Of course, I'll keep you posted as things keep moving along!!!

She will be in my arms "forever" very soon.
