More waiting... It had been hoped that the amendments to the Ortega Law would have been passed in Guatemala yesterday but the Prensa Libre (A Guatemalan paper) is reporting that the amendments are still pending. They said:

"Despite the fact that all parties agree on the urgency of adopting a law on adoptions, and already agreed to the amendments to the initiative which is being discussed in Congress, final approval is still not included in the legislative agenda."

I do believe it will all work out but it sure is hard going through all the emotional ups and downs while waiting for the final word. I spoke to my caseworker yesterday and I am still not back in PGN. They hope to have the birth certificate issue resolved today and then reenter PGN soon. The good news is that I leave in 13 days to go meet my daughter! Now that is something to be THANKFUL for. I love you Maya!
