FINALLY - We are going to PGN!

FINALLY - the social worker in Guatemala has completed her report! Our case will be in PGN tomorrow! It probably could have gone last week, however, Holy Week is a big celebration in Guatemala and all offices were closed on Thursday and Friday. Our attorney took the whole week off. That's okay - everyone needs a vacation - I just wish we could have gotten into PGN before now.

So . . . to all my prayer warriors, please pray that our case will NOT be kicked out of PGN. We do NOT want a previo as this will delay bringing Edison home. A previo is when the reveiwer of PGN finds something wrong with the paperwork, kicks it out and asks you to correct it. We will have to correct whatever they ask - sometimes it is very minor and/or picky - and then present the whole case to PGN again. Please, no Previos! The next prayer request is that our file will go through the PGN review process quickly. It can take from 2 to 12 weeks. Cases have been known to come out in 2 DAYS! I'm not asking for 2 days - I'm just praying for much less than 12 weeks.

My Old Kentucky Home is becoming more of a reality for you, Edison! It would be a wonderful blessing to bring you home before your 1st birthday. Wishful thinking on my part. We will celebrate big when you do come home.

Please No Previos, Please No Previos, Please No Previos, Please No Previos, Please No Previos, Please No Previos, Please No Previos, Please No Previos, Please No Previos, Please No Previos, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

We've been waiting how long ? ? ?

From the day we filled out our application for adoption (9/11/2007) to the day we picked up Edison's visa to come to the United States (9/11/2008) took exactly one year! Of my three pregnancies - this paper pregnancy was the longest and most stressful. Lilypie Waiting to adopt Ticker

I want to call my mom, but I don't know the country code - HELP!!

Will he wink?????

WE ARE OUT OF PGN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After 2 months, 2 weeks and 2 days, we are thrilled to announce that our file is out of PGN. We now await Edison's new birth certificate with our names listed as his parents and the Final Adoption Decree. Our estimated travel date is late July!!!!!!!!! God is so good!!
