Let’s hear a HUGE SIGH OF RELIEF!!!
Our paperwork cleared PGN today, I’m staring at a copy of the decree right now!
This means the adoption has been officially cleared on the Guatemala side!
Next, our attorney will -
- get a new birth certificate issued from her birthplace with her first name and our last name (woo hoo!)
- get a passport issued for her so she can travel home with us
- get a 2nd DNA test done on the baby
- take all the paperwork into translation, so there are Spanish and English copies of *everything*
- turn all the copies of all of that into the US Embassy, who will then
- issue a Pink slip - giving us the date and time for our appointment in Guatemala
The agency told me today that most families right now are waiting about 6 weeks between PGN out and Pink and then usually travel 1-2 weeks after getting Pink. So we’re hoping to travel in the 2nd half of October, squeaking her home before her birthday on November 6. Yaaaay!
It’s going to be a HAPPY WEEKEND after all!!!
