Yep it's Tuesday, time for an update.

We did indeed hear from the agency today. The Civil Registry said that our birth certificate will be ready on the 8th. So keep your fingers crossed. I also received a copy of the final adoption decree today, so we can apply for the State Employee grant, wwwooohoooo!!!

The attorney said that if the Civil Registry holds true to what they say about the 8th she will submit us to the Embassy for pink on the 13th. Why the delay? Well the US Embassy is closed several days in the next 2 weeks. March 9, 12, 14, 16, 19, 20, 23. Some of those days the embassy is just CLOSED to everyone regarding adoptions, other days the embassy is only closed to Guatemalans, ie Fridays. So just because I've listed these days above doesn't mean that we won't find out our Pink appt that week. The Embassy will still inform families of their pink appointments they just won't have any on these days. Confusing huh??? Welcome to the wonderful world of International Adoption.

So in summary Meredith will officially be a Seales on Thursday if the birth certificate come back.
And we could find out when our appointment is sometime next week, with travel the last week in March (possibly)
Here is a picture that Philip took on his recent trip.

The people in this photo are: Philip, one of our attorney's, and of course Meredith. We are unsure who the other baby is..

Wonderful news. At least it is encouraging news. Keeping our fingers crossed that you will be getting the pink paper in the next week or so. We are really getting excited.

Love,
Aunt Lib & Uncle Chester

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.
