FAMILY COURTS in Guatemala

I just recently found out that Angelena's case went to Family Courts in Guatemala. This is where a Social Worker interviews the Birth Mother, Foster Mother, and Angelena. This is done for a couple of reasons: to ensure the birth mother is not being pressured, and Angelena is being well taken care . Once the Social worker does the visit, she writes up a case on Angelena and recommendations. Which takes 2-4 weeks to process. Then, everything is sent to PGA (equeivalent to Attorny Generals Office in the States). PGA, is the most exciting step of the whole process, because it is the last step before she comes home. God, this is going so fast, but sooooooooooo slow... I am just taking one day at a time.

I am going to be sending a package to the foster mother this week, which will include a care pack for her, and clothes and stuff for Angelena. I am not required to do it, but I want to. And besides, it has our home smells on it, and I want her to get use to it.. Ok... maybe that didn't sound right, but I know you all know what I mean....!

46 More days till we Visit Guatemala....

I feel like a little kid waiting for Christmas.... A day doesn't go by that I don't think, "THIS IS TAKING TOOOOOOO LONGGGGGGGGGGGG.

On anther note: Ginger is going to come a visit Dallas one of these days. We will finally get to meet eachother face to face, before we go to Guatemala. It will be neat. I can't wait. Yet, I am a little nervous too! I really don't know why, but it is like my circle is finally opening and I am letting people in again.

I have so other news to share... I have a few cousins that live in Alaska, 1 of them have adopted 2 little girls from China. This make 4 children total.... She original had twin boys, and now she has 2 girls very close in age, so if you think about, she has 2 sets of twins... They adopted 1 of the girls bout 2 years ago, and the other one came home in the begining of the year...Boy she sure does have a lot of courage... AND ALL THE KIDS are so adorable! Another cousin, already adopted a little girl a few years ago, and now is planning to pick up her second daughter sometime in July. She has sent me pictures of the girls.... All I can say is WOW... This is so exciting, and I love to watch and hear about the journeys. I am printing some of them up and sending them to my dad to see... Dad, well lets just say.... Don't own a computer, and if he did, he wouldn't know how to turn it on.... LOL - Wouldn't it be great to get all of us together with all the girls! Trust me... Birdies are in my ears and I can't wait!

Well thats all for now, I am just rambling.....
