Day Two...

Kya woke up with a smile this morning...I was so releived! She does okay unless she thinks you are leaving her. She is very small for her age. She is still in some 3-6 month clothes. She is also very thin so I'm sending some vitamins with her foster mother when she comes to pick her up.

Here are some pictures from this morning...enjoy!

I´m here!!!

Kya is beautiful. She is a little upset about being away from the foster mother. Heres a couple pics for now!

THE INTERVIEW IS DONE!!!

I just heard from our agency and they said the interview is over and the birth mother did very well! I am so glad!!! Now I can go see my girl with this burden lifted!!!

They do not know when PGN will start to approve or release cases. I am praying that it is soon!

Thank you Lord for answering our prayers!!!

Please Pray!!!

PGN has decided to do interviews with all the birth mothers of the children who are in process. There were 25 interviews done Thursday and more on Friday. From what I've heard, they've all gone pretty well.

We were informed yesterday that our interview will be on Monday. The agency said that the hard part is locating her on such short notice. The mother, attorney, foster mother, and baby will be present at the interview. If all goes well, there is a very big chance we will be approved and OUT of PGN for good next week!!!

As you can imagine, I'm very nervous about this. Especially about the mother seeing Kya. I couldn't imagine having to go through what she will on Monday. I am praying that everything goes smooth and we can bring her home soon. I am also praying for the birth mother, that she will have comfort in her decision.

It would be great to visit Kya knowing she was legally ours!!!

Please keep us, Kya, and her birth mother in your prayers! Also pray that the people conducting the interviews will treat these women with respect. (As they have NOT done in the past)

Just got News!!!

There is a parent who is a member of a forum I belong to. She got to attend the meeting at PGN. First off, let me explain that one of the main concerns that PGN has is about illegal adoptions. Where the child is stolen or where the attorney pays someone off to approve a case quickly. In the middle of the corruption are the legal cases that get held up because of these people taking advantage of the system. At the meeting the attorneys told PGN that they realize that some cases involved corruption but ALL cases should NOT be delayed due to other attys who are KNOWN TO BE CORRUPT. The heads of PGN agreed that these attys who are corrupt are known so, and they will do the following:

Criminal charges will be filed against those attys that they know are corrupt. That investigation will be separate from the in process files getting completed.

This way those corrupt attys, no longer make it difficult for those legitimate cases to get approved.

They said that cases will be approved in a timely manner for now on.

Investigations will be done on cases that existed the PGN very quickly.


So far this sounds VERY GOOD!!!!!

MEETING AT PGN

The President of Guatemala replaced the guy who signs cases OUT of PGN and now PGN is at a standstill! There is a meeting at PGN going on right now! There are all kinds of rumors flying around. One is that they will be auditing cases at PGN (which may take forever!), and the other is that the audit will be of the reviewers at PGN and once they get the new staff trained, things will speed up! I am praying for the last one. This is a very BIG deal! I will post soon as I hear something.

I AM GOING TO VISIT KYA!!!

We discussed it and feel that one of us needs to go spend some time with Kya. She will be one in June and it looks like we won't be bringing her home before then. I will be traveling May 17th-20th. I'm meeting a friend who will also be visiting her daughter. I've already started to pack and repack, and pack again. (And the packing will continue untill the day before I fly out.)

I am so excided!
