Waiting for Birth Certificate to be Issued


So, here is what has been happening since our PGN approval (adoption decree) on December 18th. Keith and I are filling out more paperwork in order to travel to Guatemala. Our Attorney, in Guatemala, has gotten the 4th and final sign off to adopt from the Birth Mother. And the paperwork is at the Civil Registry waiting to be picked up in order to issue a new birth certificate/passport for Isabella. After that, the 2nd DNA will be taken. Once the DNA results make it back to the US Embassy in Guatemala, we can start packing and watch for our "PINK" slip. The PINK slip will have our Embassy appointment date and is sent directly to us via email. I am starting to see an end in sight.

We are adopting a girl born at the same hospital Oct.12, 2007. We have been sent to appeals court at the US Embassy, because they want a copy of Megan's birth certificate. The orphanage in Guatemala City has not been able to get it. Do you know of anyway to contact the civil registry in Malacatan? Any help would be greatly appreciated. My name is Mitch Cayler and my email address is mkcayler@charter.net.

Good luck to you. You must be so excited.
