OUTTA Family Court, into PGN next week!

FINALLY!!! We have the word that we are out of Family Court and are entering PGN. In simple terms, PGN is like an Attorney General's office, which has to go over all of the documents to approve of the adoption. We have been told that we should be submitted to PGN next week (the first week of July). PGN, on average, takes 8 weeks to approve of an adoption. If there are any problems with the paperwork, then it will take much, much longer.

For those of you who are asking the obvious question, when are we bringing him home, we are hoping and praying for October. If there are problems with the paperwork, it could realistically be Christmas or even later until we bring him home.

Although we're thrilled to be one step closer to having Caleb with us forever, we're very frustrated on how long this process is taking. Family Court, on average, lasts 6-8 weeks. It took 3 months for us. GGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

There probably will not be any more updates for a couple of weeks. We're just waiting, waiting, waiting!!!

That's our Caleb!

We received some new pictures, and it's easy to see which is our favorite. We can't wait until he is back at home with us, so that everyone can enjoy Mr. Personality!

Thanks for checking

We just wanted to say "thanks for checking" our blog. Unfortunately, we have no news to report. We have learned that our attorney in Guatemala is on vacation for the next couple of weeks. His assistant is still working, but we are not anticipating any new news until July. All we can do is hope that we get some movement in our case soon.

Just waiting and waiting

Nothing new to report from this past week. We're just waiting for something to happen - any news, really. We'll have to wait a couple more weeks until we get our update from the agency. UGH this waiting is awful! For those of you who are wondering "how much longer", please look at the very bottom of the blog. We have an outline that illustrates what we've done and what we're still waiting to have happen. Depressing, isn't it?

Here is a picture of Caleb to keep everyone satisfied until we can get some new ones. They are from the latest case update, which we received right after we returned from Guatemala.

Cool story for everyone. Our son, Jared (who just turned 6), was working on answering some questions in his yearbook. One of the questions was "place I would most like to visit?" We were expecting an answer like Disneyworld or a Brewers game. Instead, he answered immediately "to Caleb." Isn't that the best answer? I wish that all of the people who are holding his paperwork hostage could see how much we want him home!

Have a great week, everyone!
