Great News! We exited Family court. Your file usually stays in Family court at least 4 weeks and usually 6 weeks. We exited in less than 2 weeks. Now we wait on the US Embassy for Peapproval before we can make any more movement. The US grants preapproval so when Lucia comes to the US she can get her Visa. Please pray for extra help and efficiency in the US Embassy so we can get Lucia home before Christmas. Thanks again for all the prayers and support. We are off to an amazing start with our case. This process is confusing and extensive so I have it clearly written out step by step in the blog archive under May then click on "Guatemalan adoption process" post. I go back to that post periodically to review the process and update the "WE ARE HERE IN THE PROCESS!" ( Look for these big red letters to see how far along we are and how far we have to go.) Here is the e-mail we got last night about exiting Family Court!
Dear Darcy,
I just received an update and wanted to let you know that your file exited family court approved on August 16. We are now just waiting on your preapproval from the US Embassy which should come to both of us by email.
Preapproval processing is delayed right now. We just started receiving preapprovals for cases with DNA collection dates at the very end of May and one from the first of June.
I am advising people to expect preapprovals to take 11-12 weeks from collection of DNA. I am also asking people to please not email the Embassy and ask about their preapproval as it only slows the one person down from processing preapprovals. I monitor all the cases and if any one case seems like it is going longer than the others as far as wait time, I will ask you to send an email. Please feel free to ask me or your case manager about this at any time. We know it is hard to wait. As soon as you have preapproval, your file can be prepared for PGN.

Wonderful news! I think about you guys all the time and can't wait for Lucy. We definitely need to do lunch/dinner soon Darc. Have fun in Vegas and let me know a time that works best. I can't wait to hear more about little Lucy. Love you guys!
For serious: she is SO going to be worth the wait. And she is already so blessed to have an amazingly gifted mother, a solid loving father, and two bright, spirited big brothers (not to mention adoring grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends). Her public awaits her with antici...pation. Free Lucy Jane!
Hang in there! Your next trip is just around the corner!
