TO MY DEAR FRIEND ELLIE!!!

I WAS WITH YOU WHEN YOU FIRST HELD ANGELENA.
YOU WAS WITH ME WHEN I FRIST HELD MAYA.
WHAT A GREAT FAMILY!!! ELLIE AND ANGELENA TOGETHER FOREVER!!
AUNT GINGER AND ANGELENA AT THE DALLAS AIRPORT!!
ANGELENA CHRISTINA PULS!!! PRECIOUS LITTLE ONE!!

MY FRIEND ELLIE HAS BEEN AN AWESOME FRIEND TO ME THROUGHOUT THIS VERY LONG JOURNEY TO BRING MY DAUGHTER HOME. WE MET THROUGH OUR FIRST AGENCY (THE BAD ONE). WE INSTANTLY BECAME FRIENDS. SHE WAS THERE FOR ME WHEN I LOST MY REFERRAL FOR BERALI AND I THOUGHT THERE WAS NO HOPE LEFT. SHE WAS THERE WHEN I CHANGED AGENCIES, HELD MAYA FOR THE 1ST TIME, AND WHEN I MADE THE DECISION TO HIRE AS. ELLIE HAS BEEN THERE WHEN MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS THOUGHT THIS ADOPTION WOULD NEVER HAPPEN. SHE IS A TRUE FRIEND. SHE NEVER JUDGED, ONLY ENCOURAGED!! SHE WAS SO HAPPY FOR ME WHEN I GOT OUT OF PGN SO FAST. SHE KNEW THE TORTURE THAT I HAD BEEN THROUGH AND KNEW THAT I DESERVED A BREAK. I AM SO GLAD TO CALL ELLIE, MY FRIEND!!!

    What a sweet post. I will never forget the friends that I made during this journey, I wish some of them lived closer, although we might get into some serious trouble if that were the case. You deserved to get out of PGN when you did, don't let anyone else tell you any different.

    The friends one makes thru their children can last a lifetime. The really cool thing about adoption (amongst many) is that those friendships often start LONG before our children are legally ours. I'm looking forward to the possibility that this incredible friend of yours might be moving to our neck of the woods and we'll have a chance to meet!! Sooooo Ellie - any news??? :) Beautiful post Ginger!
