No news is not always good news...

I just received an e-mail from our agency saying there is no news yet. We are still waiting to exit Family Court.


COME ON FAMILY COURT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE WANT OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!!!

We have PA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got the E-mail yesterday! On day 19!!! WOW, that's way better than the 9+ weeks we waited last time! Now we just have to get out of Family court and it's on to PGN.

We are on day 18 waiting for PA. I was expecting 4 to 6 more weeks but I have alittle more hope now. This past weekend there were many PA's issued...some 20 to 30 days into the wait, and even a 17 and 12 day wait!!! I pray that we will hear something this week or next week.

Our agency told us that we should be out of Family court by the middle or end of October. That means that if we get PA soon, we could be submitted into PGN by the end of October or begining if November.

We should be receiving a medical update of our baby soon. I would love to know how she's growing. (and a few new pictures would be a nice supprise!)

WE HAVE DNA RESULTS...99.99% MATCH!!!

This is great news, but my heart is just breaking for her birth mom. She is holding her baby so close in the picture and she has the most bitter sweet look on her face. Like she is heartbroken, but wants to look happy in the only pic her baby will ever see of her. I just can't stop looking at her. She is so beautiful...

On a happier note...time to wait on PA!!! Last time we waited a total of 63 or 64 days. If things keep moving like they are, we hope to have it in 45-50 days! I hope things continue to speed up.

MORE PICS...

I couldn't help it... I guess I'm in a picture posting mood! These are from the second set of pictures we received from our agency. She was about 6 weeks old. They are my favorite!

No DNA yet. But.....

Well, we didn't get DNA results this week. But the good news is.....we have new pictures! This is the 4th set of pictures we've received since her referral in July. Our agency is doing a great job of keeping us up to date so far.

I also want to mention the elections that are taking place in Guatemala today. Please keep them in your prayers.

DNA IS DONE!!!

I received an e-mail from our agency Friday telling us that we did get authorization for the DNA test to be done. Then I received a second e-mail right after that one saying that the DNA test was done that day! This is very good news considering that we thought it would take at least a couple more weeks to get the test done. Hopefully, we will receive the results this week.

Once we have the results, we begin waiting for pre-approval (PA). This is taking about 60+ days right now.

We are still early in the process, but this is a very big step.


Happy Labor Day!!!
