Update on Our Case...

Here's a little update on our case.......

We entered PGN on April 24th. This is the last big stage of the adoption process, where the case is reviewed and either approved or rejected. If your case is Rejected (or kicked Out) your attorney has to fix the problem(s) and then the case gets resubmitted into PGN. The case can be rejected for many different reason, as minor as a misspelling or in some cases more serious problems.


We received a Kick Out (Rejection) on June 21st. Once we get resubmitted we have another 8 weeks to find out if we are Out of PGN (approved), or kicked out again. Right now we are just waiting to find out when we re-enter PGN. It's very frustrating, but she's worth the wait.

God is definately teaching me patience.

We had the most amazing visit with Isabella. She was an angel, and such a happy baby. We wore her like a purse. It was so hard to give her back. Here are some pics...

We have Pre-approval!!! And we are going to visit!

We just got the e-mail from the Embassy today! After 9 long weeks we finally have Pre-approval. This means we will be entering PGN soon. This will be our last real wait! Hopefully it's a fast one!

We have other great news too. We are going to Guatemala to visit our little girl next month! May 28th - June 4th. We will have her for 4 days! We have to give her back on Friday the 1st :0( So we are going to do some "exploring" to get to know the country a little better June 2nd - 3rd. I'll be sure to take A LOT of pictures. I can't wait!!!

We're out of Family Court!

I found out that we exited Family Court on March 16th! We are still waiting on Pre-approval. The wait for pre-approval is 4 to 7 weeks right now. We have been waiting for almost 7 wks. Things are moving slow this week b/c of the Easter Holiday. Hopefully we will have good news next week!

5 month pic and update!

It looks like her Foster Mother dressed her up for us b/c of Easter! How Sweet!

Her Dr. wrote that he is alittle concerned thta she didn't gain enough weight this month. So he is changing her formula and giving her vitamins.

02/19/07 Update on Paperwork

DNA authorization was given on February 1st. They put Philip's name in the wrong place and had to get it corrected. I got a call from our agency on February 19th and.....ITS A MATCH!!!!!!!!!! Now we have to get pre-approved by the Embassy... Come on Pre-approval!!!

The agency also told me that I am in Family Court right now. The interviews with the social worker took place on February 19th. Once we are out of Family Court and have Pre-approval, we move on to the real waiting game; PGN.
