Quick, Write a Recap!

I have much more to say than I can possibly squeeze into the twelve minutes before my part of our bedtime routine. Many thanks, as we’ve all been saying, go to Andrea for hanging on and bringing the site back. I missed blogging and reading your blogs, and I too have been intrigued with the question of whether blogging detracts from our “real” lives (takes time away) or adds to them (attention and discussion lend meaning).

We’ve had some news about the adoption - just that we’ve finally entered the solicitor general’s office which used to take 6-9 weeks but is currently running at about 12 weeks. It means we’ll probably get our “out” in August and travel in September. I’m glad we’re finally in PGN and will take all the good thoughts, positive energy, prayers and crossed fingers you want to send my way that we can get through faster than the norm. We had new pictures today which are wonderful to see but make me wish I could be there with her now.

JediBoy has been great, and, of course, tossing off wonderful thoughts and clever ideas faster than I could blog them. We’ve kept busy with our many sports (soccer, t-ball, bowling) and good times with our friends. Last night, we sadly came home from our weekend in paradise…

Congrats on the progress in the adoption! Is this a Guatamalan adoption? I have a friend who is hoping to get out of PGN any day. Two of mine are adopted from Korea, so the terminology is different, but I remember the waiting all too well!

Thanks! Yes, we’re adopting from Guatemala… the waiting, and the waiting, and the waiting… it’s especially hard right now because of all the controversy surrounding the Hague treaty - in Guatemala, those who filed power of attorney by April 1 were to be grandfathered in under the old laws. Naturally, the end of March saw a huge flood of paperwork there and slowed everything down.
