Meeting our U.S. Facilitator

We had a three way phone conversation today at noon CDT and found out volumes about our adoption. Both girls are with separate foster families and if we would like to have them placed together, they would try to arrange that.

McCaule's DNA has been authorized and now a time needs to be scheduled.

The in-country coordinator is meeting with the social worker today about beginning the family court interviews. They have been assigned to one who will not be taking the 15 day vacation next week, so there will not be any delay in the report being done.

We will receive updated medicals on both girls while we are in Guatemala and should get to meet the in-country coordinator who does all the foot work on the case.

All in all, we were very excited to hear from her and get a thorough update as to what's happening with our case. There will be other families at the same hotel being guided by this same agency that we hope to meet...they are actually picking up their little one.

She described McKelle (the older baby) as a go-getter and a bit onery. McCaule as quiet and a snuggle bug. We can hardly wait to make our own assessment.

Here are pictures of the La Casa Grande Hotel where we will be staying for 5 days. It does look lovely.
