Feliz cumpleaños, Caleb!!!

On Monday, July 30th, Caleb will be one year old! It's so bittersweet that he's already one and not here with us to celebrate it. We cannot wait for the day for him to be ours forever.

We received our monthly update. As usual, his foster mom did a wonderful job picking out what clothes to have him wear. GO PACK GO! It's so cool that he's wearing the same Packers jersey that both his older brother and sister wore when they were younger.

We also learned that we entered PGN on July 6th. If everything goes perfect, then we should be out of PGN in September, and able to pick up Caleb sometime in October. If you're the praying type, please pray that we have no more delays in our case. We'll also take all of the fingercrossings, horseshoes, and whatever else works to get Caleb home SOON!

Have a great week,

Kris and Keith

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.
