August Update


How much longer can I wait to kiss those cheeks?!!!! We got our update and at 3 months he weighs 11 lbs , 12 oz. The doctor's update said he is a "bright little one". Well, of course he is. What an amazing thing to feel proud of this, like I have something to do with it?
And yes, he has already started to amass a wardrobe. I'm sure it will never rival his sister's, but no child of mine will end up on the Fashion-Don'ts page.
We also received our case update; the DNA test with his birth mother has been completed as well as much of the Family Court interviews. We are currently waiting for this stage to end and receive our Pre-Approval from the U.S. Embassy in Guatemala. Then we enter PGN - the big kahuna. This could take 3 weeks or 10 months. Our agency thinks the chances are slim that we'll have him home by the end of the year, more likely early next year. Of course all the Hague-compliancy stuff goes into effect next February, so keep us in your prayers that we're through before all that starts.

Those are some sweet cheeks and look very kissable. I hope all goes well and you get him as quickly as possible.

Wow. He is just adorable! Those big ol' eyes! What a sweetie! Although I doubt he's aware yet that he will have to use his good vision to view Emmy's armpits... I can't believe it's 3 weeks or 10 months! That is what I call coping with the unknown. I will definitely start shooting out my prayers/vibes/meditations that all matters can come to proper resolution in the best time frame.

Love, Mary

You know when they take those pictures, I think he looking right at you. You all are so lucky to have a beautiful baby waiting to be loved and he's lucky too! I think back to when you brought Emmy home and I look at her now. Your love and devotion has made her into an independent, confident beautiful little girl. I know with your love, this little guy will be just the same.

Love ya,

TaTa and Ralph

PS....I can't wait to kiss that little face and I will get my time to hold him, even if I have to sneak it :~)
