WE HAVE ENTERED PGN! PRAY! PRAY! PRAY!

We found out today that our file entered PGN on October 4rth. PGN is the last step until Lucia is legally ours. PGN is basically the equivalent of the Attorney General’s Office. We are so excited as this is the final HUGE step in Lucia’s adoption. The PGN process takes approximately 8-10 weeks...could be shorter...could be longer...only God knows. We do, however, need your prayers more now than ever as this is the most challenging part of the process. And with the uncertainty in Guatemalan adoptions at this point I feel like we are racing the clock. Basically, our case will be assigned an investigator that will go through our 180+ pages in our file with a very fine tooth comb. If for any reason (and it can be a huge number of countless reasons) the investigator decides that they don't like something then we would receive what is called a "previo," which is also known as a "kick out". Our agency warned us to expect at least one previo. At this point, the problem would have to be fixed and then we would be re-submitted to PGN and start the entire 8-10 week waiting process again. Which would mean she would not be home by Christmas or the scary December 31st deadline which has been passed at this point. As you can imagine, we are praying fervently that our case WILL NOT receive a previo. We would be so excited to have our baby girl home for Christmas! We do not want to hear anything from our agency for awhile until we get that blessed phone call that she is out of PGN!
