And The Drama Continues

I am all about the drama but enough is enough. We received word today that the police in Guatemala are harrassing the foster moms when they bring the children to the hotel to meet their families. They requested that no more families travel for visitation right now. Only travel if you are finalizing your adoption. It isn't enough that these women take care of our children but they have to risk being arrested when delivering the child to their forever family. (As if we weren't intimidated enough by the travel to a foreign country) The Guatadopt site has more information if you would like to look into this with more detail. Again, thanks for all of your support. I am sure the drama is not over yet. Stay tuned for the next episode of the adoption story.

11 Months Old













"Holy Cow" does that kid have hair or what. It looks like they are styling it like Jason even. He looks so grown up and ready to be buzzing around our house. We will have to see more smiles though. He looks like such a serious baby with the serious looks on his face. The photos below have to be his foster mom, Rosa. They didn't say who she was but I can only guess that it is her. I am glad to see the jeans he was growing out of are gone now and he is wearing shorts. It must be a little warmer now down there since it is moving towards "summer" for them.












We haven't heard any news lately. If we don't hear soon we will have to update our fingerprints. They expire December 9, 2006 and it takes two
months to get them through the process. We would hate for that to be the reason we don't get him. The people from Guatemala said we would have our baby by then but at this rate who knows. We would rather update them and have him early then slow down the process because we let them expire. Thanks for all your prayers, letters, words of encouragement, and thoughts. We appreciate every single one of them.
