Isabella is 7 months old today!

We don't have any further news of a travel date. We did get our travel pack info....more forms and paperwork to complete. Hopefully, we won't have to make any additional trips to the local courthouses for additional certified documents. Once we get the word that the 2nd DNA test is being completed, a travel day could be within a couple of weeks. With the holidays and such, everything slowed down in Guatemala. Hoping that the remainder of this week and next, things gear back up.

We want to keep all of the children of Guatemala in our thoughts as the new year begins with new processes for adoption from Guatemala. The cases that are currently in process, app 3500, were grandfathered in to be completed under the existing rules. But, no one is really sure how the new guidelines will effect the timeliness of new cases going forward or even the cases that are in the pipeline currently. We were very fortunate in that we received our final approval prior to the Dec 31st deadline.
