Waiting for PA

The next step on the paperwork journey is Pre Approval (PA). This is issued by the US Embassy in Guatemala. It allows us to enter PGN- the final leg of this journey. (See my post below for all the steps. We are on step 15.)

Recently the US Embassy gave notification that PA would begin to take up to 60 days (measured from when DNA results are matched and at the embassy). We are on about Day 53.

The wait feels like it has intensified since being with Samuel for the week.

I don't want to forget what it felt like to hold him and what he smelt like and how he giggled when he took a bath.

Please pray for PA to come soon.

Melanie and Rob -- How exciting! I didn't know you were that far along in the process. We are in almost at the end of week 7 in PGN. No previos so far :-) We are going to call PGN tomorrow (we just learned we could) and try and see if we can get some information. Praying for both of our little ones to come home SOON! Holli
