NEW PICTURES NEW PICTURES

Just a Reminder

The Guatemalan Adoption Process is all typed out at the beginning of this blog. If you don't get what is going on, go to the bottom to older post and keep a clickin!! And if you know anyone that wants to know what is going on with this adoption process, send me their email so I can invite them on.

I NEED PICTURES!!!!

That's it, it has been almost six weeks since the last set of pictures. I want them now, I need them now!!! THey better make her smile, and it better make me happy~!!!!

40 more business days!!!

Email from Stephanie, (the guatemalan Coordinator for our agency, she lives in Guatemala). She said PGN will take another 40 business days. Last time remember 40 business days turned into 17 weeks!!! I am just sick. That is all I have now. And frankly I don't want to talk about it anymore.

THIS BLOWS!!!

Well, this is the news that we HAVE NOT been waiting all this time for. We just found out today that we were kicked out of PGN with a previo. Yes this BLOWs!!! And that is me talking really good. How disapointing after waiting 17 weeks.

This is what the email said "I spoke to your attorney and she indicated that the file was kicked out of PGN with requirements yeaterday, due to an error from PGN (since your attorney had changed the Notary, they submitted a document to state that, and PGN got confused and thought they meant the attorney appointed by you through a POA, which is the same person, so they are requesting why the same persona appears on all documents if he had been changed)." The file will be resubmitted in PGN tomorrow.

Okay, it sounds like PGN made the mistake. Does this mean it will be a quick fix, who knows. It probably all depends on if they like my attorney or not, I would say.

I am going to get some answers Wednesday I hope. If it is going to be a while, I am outta of here. July 30th - August 4th is the weekend that we have okay'ed as of right now, I am going to go if this is going to be more than a week delay. That is my plan, and I am going to stick to it.

Once we get out of PGN it is going to be around 6-8 weeks before we will be able to bring her home. So that means we are at least 8 weeks away from seeing her. If we went on the 30th it would split that in half, and right now 4 weeks to see her is way to long.

Hopefully I will be able to update this blog tomorrow with some good news.

Pray Pray Pray for my baby girl!!

Just Found out BOO HOO

Just found out that there is a guatemalan holiday on June 30th and July 1st. THis means absolutely no news about PGN until WEDNESDAY!!!! That is just terrible at this point. I have about 1 1/2 hours as of now for the office in Guatemala to close. Hopefully Stephanie down there will send the good news with our update. Notice I say GOOD NEWS trying to be optimistic at the moment. I will let you all know as soon as it happens. PRAY PRAY PRAY!!!

MORE WAITING

The agency told us that PGN has been either giving Previos (kick outs) or letting people out of PGN in 10 to 15 days. So on June 27th-July 2nd we will be watching the computer like mad. It is not for sure that amount of days, but that has been the norm with the new interviews. So pray like mad that we are gonna get out of the Black hole!!.

MORE WAITING

BirthMother Interview DONE! DONE! DONE!

Went for a walk today. It was sunny, a little cool though. All of a sudden it started to rain. I told Keiko maybe this was going to be our sign. It was like it was only raining on us. It was weird. I turned around looking for a rainbow to wish on, there wasn't one. Then I got to the end of the mile and turned around. I looked at the sky, it was amazing. It was like all the books and shows about Jesus. It was the picture of the big clouds with an opening in the middle with the sun shining through it. I thought HOLY SHAMOLY that is AWESOME!! I said to God, is this my sign, is that you telling me that today is really going to be the day? I started to pray, and I prayed some more. I even talk out loud when I am walking, (I hope no one ever sneaks up behind me). Then, when I was getting ready for work the t.v. shut off. I looked at my curling irons and they were all on, and I thought was this a sign. So I ran down stairs to check my email and the computer was off. We must have lost electricity which was really weird because nothing was going on outside. So I checked my email minutes before I left for work, as I always do, just to make sure I hadn't received any knews yet. Nothing. So I go to work, Kayla decided to borrow something of ours, so I gave her the code to get in the house. I was in the middle of doing a customer and decided I needed to call her. I thought I can have her check my email while she's there. She did. And there it was. The birthmother interview was done on 6/17. the lawyer apologized for not letting us know beforehand. But this is awesome news, now we just have to get out of PGN. KEEP PRAYING

I Am STARTING TO GET THE CRAZIES!!!

Okay, we have NOT gotten our Birthmother Interview(BMI) Yet. And this is all getting soooo old. On the forum I watch, people that were submitted to PGN around the same time as we were 3/14 have had their BMI's and are out of PGN. Someone even went in on 6/4 and had their BMI today. What the heck!! I am happy that people are getting out but I want out!! I want my girl. She is getting old and I am missing it all. I don't know what is going on, but it is starting to worry me. My agency just says that they don't know what is going on with PGN, but think it is going in the order of submission. I THINK NOT!! Or we would have been out by now!!

Please Pray for our Avea, Please pray for her Birthmother. That they respect her as they interview her.

I let you all know more as soon as I get it.

Well, we are seriously looking at some dates to go see our girl. Maybe July23-28, anyone even slightly interested in going let me know. It doesn't matter to us, but we are definately given out the option. We will get a two bed room. SO all you would have to pay for is the plane ticket. So far at this time I am finding them from 350-450 but that could change. And I am not for sure if they will charge extra for extra people, but it probably won't be much. Just putting the offer out, no need to feel like you should go, just putting out the invitation. And this time is not very serious yet. We have to check and make sure it is alright with the foster family, agency, lawyers, and maybe even Mike, before anything is serous. But let me know if you are interested at all.

I guess the first two people would get to share our room with us. Oh we'd figure something out.

It is one of my favorites from our trip. OOOOOhhhh MY GOSH!!!! LOOK AT THAT SMILE!!!

We are still in PGN

Surprise surprise we are still in PGN. Still haven't had the birthmother interview. Whoooooh I am growing very impatient. I heard on the forum today that they let 240 cases out, wether or not they were previos (kick out) or a nice little YOUR OUTTA HERE exciting out. Is the main question of the day. Or For the weekend. It's almost like they are trying to drive us crazy. Hopefully that will make room for us to get our interview and get outta there ourselves. We haven't booked a trip to see her yet, because we haven't heard back from the agency yet. The actual trip isn't that outrageous, but now to go again we have to pay $500 just to have it set up. Basically a couple of phone calls, and to have a interpreter there. (which she wasn't there when Fostermother picked the baby back up anyways) We ended up just paying a guy in the hotel $20 to interpret for us. Oh well, we will see what happens next. God will figure it out for me, he has so far, I guess I will try to rely on him. Pray for my Avea, the quicker she gets home the better.

We are Now Private

Well, I was told that Pictures of Avea should not be put on the internet by our agency. I thought because it was just friends and family looking at them it would be all right. But I received a couple comments from a couple strangers. I don't care who looks at my beautiful girl, but I don't want to get into trouble, AGAIN!!!! So now we are private. I tried sending out to everyone on my email list. So if there is someone you know that wants on, let me know by sending me their email address, or have them email their own to me. I will invite anyone that I know or you know to get on.

I think I gotta GO!!

Well, I heard a little baby talk and cooo the other day. He sounded just like my girl. I decided that day that I can't take it any more. I think that I gotta go. The homeboy says he's going too. We are looking at July 4th weekend at the moment. I am working on getting a response from a email to our agency. I am trying to find out what is going on and how much more time we are looking at. I know they can't really give me a answer to that but I am going to feel them out,. And then decide if we will be able to go.


Still haven't got a update since two weeks ago. Haven't found out anything about our Birthmother interview but I would like it to happen SOON. Remember to pray for the birthmother, that she does what is best for her baby.
