We cannot go into details, and really, does it really matter? Some legal action worked in the Guatemalan courts, and now, finally, Caleb is home. We became "orange" on December 21st, and our Embassy appointment was February 4th. Keith flew back with Caleb on Wednesday, February 6th. It's a bit crazy around here, but things are going very, very well.
We will get more pictures up on the blog when time allows, hopefully later this weekend or early next week.
THANK YOU, everyone, for all of your support, prayers, and faith through this long, drawn-out process. We never, never would have made it without you.
Additionally, some of you know that I am also pregnant. (You know it's a long adoption when you get pregnant along the way!!!!) Baby is still going great, and my due date is February 26th. So this blog will soon be changing to give information about the circus our home is about to become, going from 2 kids to 4 kids in a matter of three weeks!!!!!
Sorry for the choppy post, I'm in a rush to get this up while DH is keeping the 3 kids entertained.
FINALLY, we have been asked NOT to put this on the messageboards. So, we are honoring that request. Thanks for doing the same.
LOVE,
Keith, Kris, and our THREE beautiful children

Congratulations!!! This is Kendra from the TTC board. I just talked to my mom. Their embassy appt was on Feb 4 and they came home through Houson on the 6th! My mom said she remembers seeing your husband there (she said someone was talking about him being by himself which is why she remembers him). Mom and dad were the ones with the older boy (2) who wouldn't stop screaming--LOL.
Congratulations on Caleb and Mariah
