No News

No News is good news I guess - 6 weeks (9 total) in PGN. Probably another 3 to go if we don't get another previo. We know PGN is still moving because they are issuing both Previos and OUTS! I was so afraid it would come to a stand still, but it hasn't yet. It was a hard week because the people who were submitted on our original submit date of 11/8 all got out this past week. I'm happy for them but it's hard to know we could have been OUT.

The Central Authority (CA) will be the new body that governs adoptions in Guatemala - we are grandfathered in but all grandfathered cases must be registered with the CA. We've now learned the CA finally has a real office and that the personnel were all sworn in on Friday. We are hoping that this Monday, with the new Guatemalan President etc taking office that we will finally hear how we can register Natalie's file.

I am trying to make plans to go back for another visit in February. I so hope that will be my last visit before our pick-up trip.

A special congrats to a fellow FTCr who got OUT this past week after 1 YEAR, 1 MONTH AND 12 DAYS IN PGN!!! I don't think I've been this excited to see an OUT ever! CONGRATS C, G and E!!!!
