Today is a very special day in Guatemala, called Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead. Because it is such an important day, all government buildings are closed. Additionally, November 2nd and November 5th are also government holidays, so we believe that all goverment buildings will be closed these days as well.
What this may mean for us (our assumption) is that our attorney STILL won't be able to go up to Sayaxché, Petén to file the Amparo until sometime next week. This is the Amparo that was supposed to be filed last week. Two more weeks wasted...and really, nothing has been done to move the adoption forward since we exited PGN on September 14th.
Here is your ironic Spanish lesson for the day: As you may have read, we've been warned by our agency and attorney that this legal Amparo process that is needed to get the updated Birth Certificate could take months. The Spanish word for months is "meses". How ironic that "meses" and the English word MESS are so similar?
Have a great day. Please keep Caleb in your thoughts. He is always in ours!

We think of you often, hoping and wishing things would start going your way. We will continue to keep your family in our thoughts and hope that things get moving soon.
Love,
Jeremy, Jen and the trips
Fingers are crossed that things can be resolved soon so Caleb can finally make it home to you all.

Good for people to know.
