I spoke with LabCorp (the place where DNA is analyzed) today and they confirmed that the samples of Bella and her birthmother arrived on 7/14/06. The woman that I spoke to thought that the testing should be completed by the end of the week or the beginning of the next. It would be great if we had the results before our visit trip. The reason this part of the process is so significant is because if it was not a match, essentially we would not be able to adopt Bella. As I understand it, her case would become an abandonment case and it could take up to 2 years for her to become available for adoption and our agency would ask that we accept another referral, because the process would just be too long. Let's pray that everything comes back ok!
