Even though we have received the portal, it does not negate the fact that this is a f-ed up process and how cruel they have been treating us. Hanging in there, guys, even it sounds so cliché. It may be a f-ed up choice, but it is a f-ed up choice we made for a reason. Your help and support along the way is much appreciated.
