Good News- Well we made it home and are busy busy getting unpacked, doing lanudry, running errands and restocking the house with food and such. I'm returning to work tomorrow and John went back on Tuesday.

We had a very VERY interesting experience at the Embassy Monday morning and got a lot of great information. I'll make a more detailed post about all the on my next day off work. I'll also be adding some new photos since I got prints done today and had everything saved on CD. I really have some great photos to add and I'm sorry I've been slow at getting them online.

The reason for my post is to update you with our GOOD NEWS. Our attorney got our authorization for DNA today ! Our test will hopefully be done on Thursday Feb,16. It normally takes about two weeks for the results and then we will wait on pre-approval from the Embassy, which normally takes another two weeks. From there we go into PGN which is the last stage of court ! PGN normally takes the longest and ranges anywhere from 3 weeks up to 3 months or longer. Fingers crossed that we don't have any hang-ups and it ends up taking that long! I'll go insane!

Even though we are waiting I still feel so fortuante that we are able to adopt from Guatemala. It is the quickest program out there and we were blessed with such a wonderful baby!

Keep praying for us and thank you all for your support. More Bella photos coming soon !
