Some Encouraging News...

The last two days were tense waiting on information regarding the first birth mother interviews. Gladly, for the most part, the interviews have been painless and thus far not one has been shown to be suspect. All have been approved. The interviews consist of the attorney, the birth mother, foster mother and child to be adopted. The birth mother is asked if she intended to give her child up for adoption. That's basically it. We did learn that all cases will be interviewed eventually. Attorneys may reschedule appointments if they are unable to locate the birth mother for the interview.

The attorneys do believe these interviews are a violation of the birth mother's privacy and will be filing an amparo soon to try to have them stopped. We'll see what the courts decide.

We have not heard whether our case has been interviewed as of yet. Last we knew, our girls' file was on the 2nd reviewer's desk. We do know they are reviewing the files previously approved by the prior attorney general first and then will work their way backward. Our file will have been inside PGN's doors for 7 weeks on Monday and one of our little girl's celebrates her first birthday as well. We will continue to watch and pray as this unfolds.
