Latest Off The Press From Our Coordinator in Guatemala:

"The previas were placed by the interviewers at the birth mother interview, and written in the document of the birth mother interview (by the CNA), so the approval can´t be signed by the PGN attorney until these requirements from the birth mother interviews are fullfilled, the best way to do it was affidavit statement.

Milton's previa from the birth mother interview required a statement affidavit by the two foster moms declaring they are fostering the two baby girls. (This is weird as they were at the interviews in person)

Miltons are already back at PGN. I will check tomorrow, we are just waiting to be out.

The previas have been corrected and the file resubmitted. I believe they are giving you old dates when you call."

Well all of that is encouraging news, but I still have questions and probably always will have more. That's the crazy thing about this process; you get some answers which just lead to more questions.

Makes Sense Now...

I phoned PGN to inquire about the status of our file today and spoke to a fluent English speaker, Elisa. To my disappointment, she told me our file had a previo and to my shock, it occurred about three weeks ago. We were never told of this. It makes sense to me now, why our attorney would make an appointment with the Attorney General to discuss our file. Needless to say, today has been a trial in attitude. We thought it was just a short amount of time and our file would be out, but it drags on, now.

On a good note, we hope to make another trip to visit in December. Still trying to iron out the details. Hope it works out, but this latest news does change the tenor of the visit some. We will continue to have hope they will one day live in Texas but also hold them loosely in our hands. We do appreciate everyone's prayers. We are thankful that we have God to comfort us and the truth that this life is not all there is.

Newest Pics of the Girls...

A Happy McCaule



A Somber McKelle

Found out that the girls now have the same foster mom caring for them. We are thankful for that. She is really good with the girls. We met her last Spring. We can't believe how much the girls have changed in 6 months!

Still waiting to hear any news of whether the meeting actually took place between our attorney and the Attorney General.

As We Understand...

Received information while we were at a Biblical Conference this past week that our attorney is suppose to be meeting with the Attorney General today about our file and one other. The meeting was at the request of our attorney handling the case. We'll wait to see what the Lord has in mind.

About the conference we attended at Glorieta New Mexico. It was tremendous. The theme was "Excel Still More" based on the verses from I Thes. 4:1. The topics were in Exhortation, Teachability, Being Steadfast, by Refusing Rejection, In Love, In Purity, In Obedience, and In Prayer. We were challenged and encouraged by our time in the Word.

Thanks to all of you who've encouraged us over the past few weeks. Your words have been a wonderful reminder of how believers lift one another up.
