Told This Morning...

Our agency facilitator told us this morning that three of her clients were released from PGN yesterday. One of them had the same previa as we do. Evidently, the paperwork that the PGN is requesting is already in the file and that is why the other family was released. The coordinator in Guatemala feels our previo will be overturned and our file will also receive a release since the cases are identical. We shall wait and see what the Lord has for us.

We continue to wait patiently to see what the Lord's plan is for our family. It's like Christmas coming but instead of the gift being the surprise, the day when it arrives will be the real surprise. The Lord is definitely teaching me to be content in whatever circumstance I find myself. I can truly say that I am at total peace and not anxious at all about our situation concerning this adoption. That is the real gift from the Lord. What a wonderful Lord we serve. :)

We've joined the 4th Class of Previa of 2008

Just heard from our coordinator and our file has a previa. We'd changed attorneys back in July and notified the CNA of the change, but the PGN file did not have the information placed in it. They are just now discovering this and gave us a previa for it. The file should be out next week to have the paperwork inserted and hopefully resubmitted. This is like Chinese water torture with the way the small things keep coming up :(

But, we hold to the truth that the Lord knows when the perfect time will be for the girls to come live with us here in TX and we must also accept that it may never be. This is totally in His hands and not ours. We hold them with open hands and feel it's been a privilege to have been able to pray for them and love them. They will always be a part of our hearts.

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.

As Promised...

Our file was picked up from PGN this morning and contained a previo. They will get the necessary document from the embassy and resubmit next week. Our facilitator indicated that this should be the last of the previos since they had to search to find this one. We will see. Any how, glad to be out and I can honestly say looking forward to returning for hopefully a shorter stay :)
