Nothing good to report.
The title says it all.
The advocate at the agency went on a trip down to GUA to visit the attorney and the Foster moms and babies.
Some of the families received pictures, unfortunately we were not one of them. They took pictures of all the babies, but the camera got lost either in the room or at the airport so there are no pictures for us. BUMMER!!!!!!!!! Those families that did get pictures were from the Foster moms and the disposable cameras they have left with them.
In the same day we find out our Power of Attorney is no good. The line where the babies' name goes isn't long enough. So we have to submit a new one and it has to go through all the different offices just like the other paperwork did. So we have probably added another 2-4 weeks onto the process. They can not go any further with Family Court until the POA is corrected.
On a happier note we were told this would not affect the authorization of DNA which we should be getting the OK from the US Embassy to have that test done in the next couple of weeks. I'll believe it when I see the charge on my Credit Card for the DNA test.
Once that test has come back as a match they say we can visit, but after talking to other families I now that is only a recommendation just in case there is no match. So I guess to be on the safe side we will wait till DNA comes back to visit.
With my two work schedules and the constant events at Todd's job, I may have to go without him. Becky got that passport yet?
The thoughts of going down alone are scarry, but the number of families that are down there each and every week, I will never be ALONE. They mostly stay at the Marriott, Westin, or Radisson. One of the message boards I belong to there is always a post out there asking if anyone will be at one of the hotels. So I'm sure I'll meet some of the folks I talk to from all over the country.
I'm meeting one of the families tonight for dinner, she's taking down a whole load of clothes for Meredith, there is one thing for sure this kid will never go without clothes. Her closet is already full.
