Welcome

Welcome to our blog.
Todd and I are in the beginning stages of an international adoption. We are presently meeting with our social worker and have one more meeting to go. So far the paperwork has been exhausting, but we both know that is will be well worth it in the end. We are glad that we chose to adopt from Guatemala, because the wait time from other countries are getting longer and longer. Right now the wait from start to finish for Guatemala is around 10-12 months. Todd and I will update everyone on our progress through this blog so check back often.
A friend from work used this blog service when she went to China this spring to pick up her daughter and she would update everyday while she was in China, it was great being able to track their progress and be up to date on all the happenings while they were away.We too plan to do that when we travel, our trip will be far less than hers, we should be gone no more than 3-4 days.

Veronica and Todd,
Congratulations! I am so excited for you. And you are right, it is well worth the wait. Maelynn is doing great and adjusting better than expected. Good Luck!

Veronica and Todd,
We too are very excited for both of you. Praying God will keep the process moving along without further delay. :)
I also think it is a GREAT way to keep everyone updated and for us to continue to keep you both in our prayers.

As one friend who adopted says:
All children come from God, for some the journey home just takes a little longer....

Can't wait till you bring your blessing home.

Veronica & Todd,
Thanks for keeping us updated. This is neat. We are so excited for you all, and pray that things will go smoothly and quickly. All the paperwork and waiting will be worth it once you have the little one with you.
Love you,
Uncle Chester & Aunt Liz

We've made it past the 7 week mark....

how many more to go??? That's the million dollar question. We are just sitting and wondering when will we get out. We are still hoping and praying for a previo free stay in PGN. I find myself hitting the send/receive button on my email every couple of minutes, and ever time my cell phone rings my heart drops. This waiting is almost unbearable. But everyone tells me that NO news is GOOD news where PGN is concerned. On a down note, my friend Keely found out yesterday that she received a previo on Friday for something totally ridiculous. But thankfully she went right back in that day. As for our weekly update, it was the same as it has been for 7 weeks. We are still in PGN waiting for approval.

Busy Busy Weekend..

Well Todd and I have had a very busy weekend. Ever since we found out that Meredith is here we've been going in overdrive. As you can see we finished up the nursery this weekend. We will put the changing table together sometime this week, the crib was challenge enough for one day. Oh and the border (that one piece deal didn't work too good Becky). Oh and Todd says if he sees one more thing Hello Kitty, he's going to hurl. hahaha But anyway the room is painted, the border hung, and the crib is put together. The only thing that's missing is Meredith!!! We haven't heard anything else since Tuesday, I'll try to get some more information this week, but it's doubtful that the agency will know anything new. They said we would get our next round of pictures in about 5 weeks.
