So these things are helping me keep from fixating on the fact that as far as we know, our attorney has still not been able to submit our new document (a revised birth certificate) to the U.S. Embassy. I've tried NOT to count the days since we got DNA results but it has been too long now. Without our document even getting IN to the Embassy, we are dangerously close to the February 19th deadline that the Embassy indicated for our re-submission. I expected to hear from Sara or Mary today but no luck. I'm hoping that Mary talked to Guillermo today and that they are planning to do what it takes to get our document in tomorrow. Good news on a Friday is always welcome, but it is only hopeful thinking. My expectation that we are in PGN by March 1st is slowly slipping away. Especially since once pre-approval is issued, it could take another week or more to get the pre-approval document OUT of the Embassy. This seems so crazy to me...I hope our attorney is doing everything in his power to make this happen.
In good news, my friend Lisa (Ruggiano) finally, finally got the news she so deserves...her babies DNA was a match and she can finally relax and embrace her baby. We have become a wonderful support for each other and she is coming to Guatemala during our visit as well. It will be super to connect with her and to share our experiences!!
It is time to get some sleep....this is the picture I will have in my head as I try to fall asleep...my sweet boy -
