Here she is!

Introducing Miss Delmi Yadira Cruiz Gonzales!!!! She is absolutley gorgeous and perfect. She was born on September 19, 2006 she was 6 lb 8 oz and 18 inches long. Her birthmother received prenatal care and her delivery was considered normal. That is all the information we have for now.
We are going to call the agency and tell them yes, and we are so excited.

Everyone seems curious about the process so I am going to lay it all out!!

1. Get the Power of Attorney sent to Guatmela (for the lawyer to represent us)
2. Receive approval for DNA test (they do this to be sure that the birth mother that placed the baby is the baby's mother)
3. DNA test scheduled with Birth Mother and sample sent to US
4. Results Reveived for the US (confiming that the birthmother is indeed the woman that gave birth to Delmi)
5. Pre-Approval Issued
6. Case submitted to Family Court and Social Worker assigned
7. Meeting scheduled with Social Worker and birth mother (to be sure that she placed Delmi for adoption and it was her
decision and not anyone else's)
8. Social Worker submits report to Family Court and case approved
9. Case submitte to PGN (this is the last time that the birth mother can change her mind)
10. Released from PGN (this can take months)
11. Adption Registered and new Birth certificat issued
12. Submitted to US Embassy for final paperwork
13. Issued "pink" slip with Embassy appointment
14. BRING BABY HOME!!!!

It will be about 6-8 months for all this to happen, and there are cases that are much faster and much slower. We are hoping to travel at Christmas time, but I don't know if we can wait that long. We should also be getting updates once a month or so, and of course we will be posting those.
