WE received THE call this afternoon! Lucia is OUT of PGN! That means that Guatemala approved our adoption. Now we just have to wait for a few more weeks (3-6) and then we can BRING HER HOME!! What a huge relief to know that she is now legally our daughter. The fourth and final birth mother sign-off should happen today and the final adoption decree will be issued. She still has to have a second DNA test to prove she is the same child that was referred to us at the beginning. So there are still details and paperwork (180+ file translated back to English, her visa, birth certificate, passport ect. . . .more paperwork), but what a huge relief to know that as far as Guatemala is concerned, she is legally OURS! Praise God. . .and THANK YOU FOR ALL THE SUPPORT, ENCOURAGEMENT, and most importantly PRAYERS! I am crying tears of JOY! Happy 5 month birthday OUR sweet baby girl. You are coming home!!!!!! Our prayers have been answered. WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
