Changing the date again

Well we are changing our dates again for Guatemala. I think we have it set now. There isn't any chance that the Dna won't be back in time, unless of course the results don't match. Our new dates are Jan. 11-20. It is a Thursday to Sunday.

Our Plans...
Note - these aren't set in stone so they can change!!!
We will get to Guatemala at about 3:00, and go to the hotel eat, shower, unpack, and sleep. Wake up the following morning and go to Antigua for shopping. Then we will go back to the hotel, shower, and eat. The the best part of the whole trip, at about 5:00 on Friday Addisyn will be dropped off to us!!!!
She will stay with us for 7 days. We will have to give her back to her foster mom around 4 or 5 the following Friday.
The next dat at 3:00 we will board the plane back home.

So everyone wants to know when she will be home!!! We are hoping that she will be home by May or June. It could be sooner or later.

The rest of the process goes as follows:

- after receiving the Dna witin 30 days we get the Pre Approval from the embassy - this is called getting PA
We should have this by the first week of February.
- Right now we are in Family Court and our Social Worker interview (between the birth mother and a soical worker) took place
on December 4th. The report should be done by the middle of Februray. - this is called exiting Family Court (FC)
- Then we have to go to PGN this is the tough one. These are the people who make the decision if your baby is 8 months
when she comes home or 2 years old. Some people sail through here within 8 weeks and others have been in PGN for
8 months or longer.

We are hoping to be in PGN by the middle of Feb or begining of March.
Hoping to be out by April

After all of that we have to wait for the embassy to do some MORE paper work. We then get the date that we will be at the
embassy and we pick her up to come home forever.


So that is all we know for now.
till then...
