YESYESYESYESYES!!!!!

I've just had a phone call from Team Leader at our LA, to say that the Agency Decision Maker has today agreed the Panel's decision to approve us to adopt from Ethiopia :-) I was disappointed this morning when we didn't get a letter from our LA saying what the decision was, as they are supposed to notify us within 10 days of Panel. I'd resigned myself to a weekend worrying and wondering, but now I can have a great weekend knowing we are officially approved now :-) Its such a great feeling :-)

Hi WL,
Nope! The bank letter only mentions my name even though its a joint account, and the person I needed to speak to isn't in till Monday! Hopefully I can get it sorted when they ring me on Monday.
But I don't care I'm having a great weekend anyway :-)
Love
