PGN wait begins- Well almost a month after we received our pre-approval our case is finally going to be submitted to PGN on Monday, April 24. I'm more than a little frustrated that a month has passed by and we are just now making it into PGN. We lost a week when we were not notified by the US Embassy that we had been issued pre-approval and I had to get my congressman involved to figure that one out. Then that took us into Easter break when nothing gets done in Guatemala. After that our attorney said he needed to update a document before submitting our case which was all this past week, and he promises our case is going in on Monday. I'm glad that he is looking at it now though instead of letting us get kicked out for minor errors when we do get into PGN.
I've been very busy with the events that have occurred with John's family so that had kept me distracted a little and has helped this month pass by. I do want to thank everyone who prayed for John's mother and us during her brain surgery, and also for praying for strength for us as we said goodbye to his grandfather who is dying of pancreatic cancer. He is somehow still holding on but he has been without a feeding tube for more than a week now so it won't be much longer. You prayers have helped us more than you know and we were able to find peace in God's strength through everything that was happening.
I was very much looking forward to having Isabella home in time for our family beach vacation in June. My whole family will be there and it would have been a great time for everyone to be in once place so they could get to know our new addition. It will take a pure act of God now though to get us through PGN and to our pickup date before June 17. I will continue to pray but am sadly struggling to accept that it may be even longer now since it seems there has been a slow down recently in processing PGN cases. I miss my daughter so much I can't even put it into words. My heart aches for her and I do hope that she will be home sooner rather than later. Until then here are so new photos of her and her nusery for all to enjoy.
Stay tuned for updates....
