Welcome!

This blog began as we documented our adoption of our third child, Caleb. It is now an eclectic journal of our often amusing lifestyle with 4 young children.

We do try to "keep it simple" because our lives are obviously busy enough! We try to hold true to what we firmly believe is the most important: family, friends, and faith.

We hope you enjoy our everyday happenings!

Our agency is definitely trying to help

We received an e-mail from our agency today. They wanted us to know that they have asked our attorney to try to set up a meeting with someone in PGN about our birth certificate issues. Additionally, they have contacted the regional CIS (Citizenship and Immigration Services) office in Mexico, to see if they have ever had to resolve similar issues. Isn't that great? Our agency has been wonderful - and it's great to know that they are trying everything possible as well to help us bring Caleb home.

Additionally, we have now contacted our Representative and both Senators. We are hoping that our elected officials can either offer some assistance, or at a minimum, get ideas from the US Embassy in Guatemala. We will be contacting the US Embassy for the 5th time tomorrow morning, too...and are hoping to at least get a response this time.

Otherwise, we have no news. Our attorney did file the Amparo last week, but we have reason to believe that it won't really help, because the Mayor has stated that he would rather go to jail than release any more adoption-related documents because he fears for his life. So we are very excited and hopeful that some of these other options will work.

Have a great day!
Kris and Keith
