This is from the Guatadopt site!! Could be Rumor

Guatemala Adoption Information and News

Will PGN be releasing cases today or tomorrow?

Yes... at least that is what they are "planning". There are nearly 300 cases that areready to be released. But probably only 100 will see the door this week that have passed the birthmother interview. We're hoping today or tomorrow we'll hear some good news.

Birthmother interviews: As we have said before, we have no way of verifying EXACTLY what has been said in some interviews. However, US authorities have been meeting with PGN and have been seen around the building. We know of several organizations that have formally or informally requested that PGN ensure that the interviews are respectful of the birthmother's rights not only as the biological mother, but as a person who is making a difficult decision for the future of her child.

In the meantime, there is still the question of why some children have been removed and whether the sited reasons justify the PGN's actions. Reports to the prospective adoptive parents have classified them as insignificant or clerical. Unfortunately, the speculation and rumors have muddled the waters. We hope there is no alterior motives behind these removals other than a legitimate fear that the birthmother has not been adequately represented. Instead of us making that call, we will just focus our energies on requesting that PGN realize the trauma invoked on these children and their prospective parents!!!!



Well I think that all sounds like an improvment on what is going on down there. Hopefully it will all be true. The quicker they get some of those files out the better I am going to feel. Let Avea out PLEASE!!!!!

Okay, this was the day when my mommy and my daddy went outside on their back deck. They whispered to me in the wind. It took a day or so to get to me, but it was a good secret. You wanna know!! I'll tell you, they told me that they loved me, that they can't wait to get me, that they are telling everyone to pray for me, they said they will take good care of me, mommy said she has my room almost done and it is soooo cute, That I am going to love it, my daddy told me he bought me some boots for the tire shop, they told me a lot of things. THEN THEY BLEW ME KISSES!!! Lot's and lot's of kisses in the wind.



Mommy thinks I was happier when she was talking to me, than whoever was talking to me in these pictures. I am thinking about smiling but they aren't as funny as Aunt Dude Uncle Dan, Grandma, Daddy, and my mommy. smiled way more when they were all with me.
Will everyone please pray for me?? My mommy and daddy want me to come home. They think that I am the most beautiful thing ever made. Please pray for me, I want to come home and meet you all.


My Daddy thinks I am soooo cute!!

When he seen this picture he started singing again.

"She is a beauty, my caramel cutie"
Boy oh boy I wish he'd come up with some new words.

I am going to love my daddy sooo much. I think he wants me to call him poppy. Whoooh thats different, but I think I like it.

YES IT IS!!


Yup, my mommy wanted my foster mommy to pierce my ears. SHe didn't want to hurt me when she gets me. But look, I've got pearls. Uncle Dan and Daddy bought them for me. I think I'm HOT STUFF now.

I SEE IT!! YES I DO!!


Anyone see that little thing on her ear lobe. I DO!!!

Six Is the lucky week!!

New pictures should be coming

We received our last pictures on 4/14. That was about 5 weeks ago. I am hoping for some new ones soon. So check back. I am hoping this week or next.

PGN GET MOVING!!!!

Well, we have found out that PGN is at a stand still. They have found corruption in some of the social workers. These are the ones that are did the birthmother interviews. Now they are re-interviewing. From what I have heard the birthmom, fostermom, baby, and lawyer will all be present. This makes me so sick!!! That poor mother has to look at beautiful Avea and say that she doesn't want her. How hard would that have been the first time at 3 weeks old. Now she has to do it again at six months old. I heard that they are offering them $70 a month until they turn 18. Kind of like a welfare. I have heard they are definately pressurng them to keep their babies. OOOOHHH I could have delt with that before I met her, but not anymore. I have to keep believing that this is definately GOD's plan and he will get her to me.

This stand still was supposed to last around a month. That time is coming near I think. They have not even let anyone out of PGN after the interviews are done. Our agency said they would let us know when the interview was scheduled.

Please pray for the birthmom. This will be terrible for her. And remember to pray that our baby girl gets here QUICK!!!

My Shower "Thank God Always"

Well I just got home. It is about 10:00 p.m. My first shower was today. WOW, a shower is really awesome when it is for you. I debated wether or not I wanted one. I just feel like at my age, I shouldn't. But with the cost of the adoption I decided I better let them have one for me. First of all I get really nervous. At the end I forgot to thank Donna, Dude, Kayla, and Maggie. So thanks so much it was awesome what you all have done. I want to also thank everyone for coming, and for all the awesome gifts. I got some awesome things. I am going to post of few of them tomorrow.

I was kind of going through all the goods when I got home. I was looking for all the cards and the list of stuff that everyone got me. I only found One. The one I found was from the Ebenhoehs. I re-read what everyone wrote, but I wanted to share with you one. It was from Aunt Jeanie. It said "Thank GOD always for such a wonderful gift, and I know you both will" She is soooo right. I am telling you I will. I will thank him as much as possible, I will thank him even when she is acting like her daddy!! (Kidding) I can't wait to thank him. Actually I already am thanking him now even though we don't even have her. What Aunt Jeanie wrote really set in my mind and heart. And I will remember that always. We are going to be so lucky for such a wonderful gift!!!!!

Pray For Keiko!!! PLEASE


Keiko had been really sick. We thought he was a goner. But he made it. After three days at the vet and on I.V's he is home!!!!! That was a terrible, terrible few days. We know exactly how much we will miss him some day. BUT NOT NOW!!!!! He needs to meet his sister. And get family pictures taken. Thanks for the prayers. And thanks to Doc Cindy and crew, and to Doc Corey, for helping out, and for making me feel better.

"A poem to my Avea" I did not write it But it is perfect!!!

I hold you in my heart
and touch you in my dreams.
You are here each day with me,
at least that's how it seems.
I know you wonder where we are...
What's taking us so long.
But remember child, I love you so
and God will keep you strong.
Now go outside and feel the breeze
and let it touch your skin...
Because Tonight, just as always,
I blow kisses in the wind.
May God hold you in his hand
until I can be with you.
I promise you, my darling,
I'm doing all that I can do.
Very soon you'll have a family
for real, not just pretend.
But for tonight, just as always,
I blow you kisses in the wind.
May God wrap you in His arms
and hold you very tight.
And let the angels bring the kisses
that I send to you each night.

THOUGH MILES MAY LIE BETWEEN US,

WE ARE NEVER FAR APART,

FOR LOVE DOESN'T COUNT THE MILES,

IT IS MEASURED BY THE HEART.

PGN!! LET US OUT!!!

Well, today has been eight weeks in PGN, including holy week. They did end up firing BARRIOS, the top official of PGN. I think that PGN hasn't moved at all this week, so it is like it didn't even count. I heard on the forum that legally we only have to be in PGN for 15 days, so hopefully they will let us out next week, with the new guy. But please don't KICK US OUT!! Just let us out quickly, and push us towards the next step.
We didn't give you the gift of life , But in our hearts we know.
The love we feel is deep and real, As if it had been so.

For us to have each other Is like a dream come true!
No, we didn't give you the gift of life,

Life gave us the gift of you!!
