We're OUT!!!!

We got the call today that we are out of PGN! I've been praying like crazy that our day would come soon, and I know that all of you have been too. Our prayers were answered! Our baby girl is coming home!

To make things even better, we found out that her birthmom has signed her fourth and final consent for the adoption, and her new birth certificate listing us as her parents has been requested. We're hoping to have the birth certificate by the end of the week, then they will get her passport and request authorization from the US Embassy in Guatemala to do the 2nd DNA test. This is to make sure that she is the same baby we started with, which she is! After that it will be a couple of weeks until we get notice of our "PINK SLIP" which will tell us when our embassy appointment is. We have been told that it will likely be around four weeks from now, maybe less, maybe more when we will have her in our arms forever. It's surreal. And scary. Holy moly two kids??!! Who'da thunk it??!!

Please say a prayer for la princesa's foster mom. By now she knows that she only has a few weeks left with our sweet girl and I'm sure she is sad. She is an absolute angel on earth to foster these babies (la princesa is her 10th!) and give them a wonderful home. She shows her love as if she was hers forever, and for that we are so thankful. Please pray that she finds peace in knowing that our baby girl will be so loved. Also pray that the new adoption process that is coming soon will allow her to continue to foster other babies in the future. This is her only source of income, and more importantly, it wouldn't be fair to deprive a child of the loving home she provides. She will always be part of our family, and we wouldn't have it any other way!

Another prayer request: Please pray that all of the families who are in process right now get good news soon. God is good, and we thank him for all we have.

Stay tuned for more updates!
