Good News and Bad News

Well, the bad news first: We have not been re-submitted to PGN like I had thought. This is something that has to be done for us to move forward. Now the good news: PGN informed our attorney that we have what is called a previo. Basically it means they found something they want redone in our file. Fortunately all they are asking for is a new copy of Caroline's birth certificate. This has to come from the courts so it can take a few days, but our agency said that hopefully we should be back in next week. Why is this good news, well we are hoping that PGN thoroughly reviewed our file and that when we get re-submitted we will sail right through and get approved. Because remember once we get approved, she will be coming home in about 5 weeks. Thanks to everyone for all your thoughts and prayers. The baby that was with Caroline's foster family came home this week and the family who picked her up are bringing the disposable camera's that I sent to Caroline's foster mom. I can't wait to get the cameras and get a bunch of new pics to share.

A Few Updates

Everyone has been asking us where we are at this point. It has been a long winter and the waiting has been agony. We were kicked out of PGN on 1/22 because we did not have our approval from the US Embassy at the time of submission. We have also been waiting for Guatemala to put together the new Central Authority to register our adoption. All of that was complete this past weekend and we don't have the official word, but I think we might have been re-submitted to PGN this past Monday. If I spoke spanish it would be so much easier because I have been trying to call down and find out myself. If we were put back into PGN, we now have everything we need to be approved and hopefully will be out by the end of March. With all that said, who knows, I learned a long time ago that I am not in control. We will keep you all posted. On Caroline's end, she is doing great, she is over 14 lbs now and likes to suck her thumb. She also is trying to roll over and push up on her knees. Maybe she will be mobile by the time she comes home. We will keep you updated with more, hopefully very soon!!!
