RENAP News

Today I spoke with Luis at GT RENAP to check on the status of the girls' BC approvals. He had some encouraging news: McKelle's BC should be ready to exit by next Friday, the 27th and McCaule's could possibly be ready by the same time. Once they are approved by RENAP in GT then they have to travel back to the municipality where the girls were born and they print the birth certificates with our last name on them. Luis told me to have a nice weekend before the call ended. What a nice fellow.

I hope the information was correct. He was accessing the computer and before, the girls' files could not be found.

Straight from Guatemala today...

Guatemalan Coordinator informed us today that McCaule's birth certificate is being requested first. Her file is curently in the Municipality of Coban which is her birth place. Once they approve the file, then it will be submitted to RENAP Guatemala City for their approval. Our attorney plans to visit with them at that point to facilitate the speed with which the file is approved so that McKelle's birth certificate may be obtained from the MIXCO Municipality.

It's encouraging to get some news of movement forward. For those who are not aware, a municipality is akin to our word "county". Coban is actually in the mountains of Guatemala, where MIXCO is like a suburb of Guatemala City.
