Update on our Adoption

Hi All,

Margaret spoke with our lawyer today and was told that our folder went to the 2nd Reviewer in PGN, this is great news!!! We are moving right along. Muchas Gracias to our lawyer and his staff for doing such a wonderful job! :)

Today Margaret and Peter was doing the "Joint Council Action Plan" and was faxing and emailing a lot of letters to our congressmen/women and senators and even Mr. President himself. Oh ya, and lets not forget UNICEF in New York. Peter was enjoying playing with the printer while mommy was printing the letters, and then he enjoyed hitting the fax button after mommy dialed the number - some people got two faxes of the same thing - oops! Today we faxed out about 40 letters with a few emails, and tomorrow we will be faxing out more letters (about 50 letters). And hopefully next week the Joint Council will have some great news for Guatemala Adoptions. Did you know on the Congress.org website, they also give you the Top Rank in Each State? Well, lets just say the top 50 reps will be getting a letter from us, regardless if we are "in their District" or not - because Gautemala Adoptions is a United States of America concern, not just our District.

This evening Margaret called the foster mother with the help of Soni who translated (thanks Soni). Anna is doing very good. Anna has a good appetite and is very alert and playful. Anna is be well taken care of by the foster mother and her children. We will be calling the foster mother again on the 20th of October to see how Anna's check up appointment went.

Keep your fingers crossed and say a few prayers, if things keep on going the way they are going, Anna will be home very soon. :)

Thanks again for all your support and for taking the time to sign the petition and writing letters, it means a lot to us!

Hey Steph, I second that, move us on to Senor Barrios, and may he be in the best of moods and let us out of PGN. :) Positively thinking of course.
