I really thought that I would be getting a call this week to tell me I am out of PGN and I would be bringing Maya home in 6-8 weeks. As of today, I was in PGN for 2 months (the typical time to be in before getting approval). Well I got a call today from my caseworker and found out that I am out of PGN but not because I am approved it is because I have received another "kickout." The reason for the kickout is invalid and despite my attorney showing PGN that what they needed was in fact there, they would not take my file back until I have been registered with the new Central Authority. Well I am registered but the Central authority is not giving out "Proof of Registration" yet so I can not be resubmitted yet. This is all part of the political mess going on in Guatemala right. Best case scenario is that they will pass out "proof of registration" in the next 2 weeks and then I can be resubmitted to PGN. Unfortunately, it will most likely take another 8 weeks or so there and then once approved it will be 6-8 weeks from there. This is just devastating! I felt so close to being able to have her home by April 1st and now it looks like it will be more like the end of May or beginning of June. Please pray for me. I am tired of being patient. I am frustrated, hurt, angry, sad, and exhausted over all of this. It is ridiculous that innocent children whose biological parents have done their best to make a good adoption plan for these children and the adoptive parents who want to give these children a home are the victims of political nonsense. Please don't get me wrong, I KNOW God is in control and I know it will all work out in His perfect timing but I am still hurting. Please pray that Maya will be home with me as soon as possible. Maya was 9 months old yesterday.
Happy Birthday Maya! I love you and my heart is breaking not having you with me and knowing that I have missed your first Chirstmas, your first New Years, and soon your first Valentine's Day, your first Easter, and most likely your first Birthday not to mention all your life "first that happen in the first year. I can only pray that you know how much I love you and pray that you are home with me as soon as possible. Love, Mommy.

Oh my word, I just found your blog from Guatadopt.....and WOW!! Your words really make so much sense to where I am at right now too. I know the Lord knows the day my little Eliana will come home to us....but the waiting is so hard. I love, love getting pictures of Eliana....but at the same time it makes me so sad watching her grow up over pictures. I am praying for you tonight as I pray for my precious Guatemalan baby. You are so strong!! You can do it.
Blessings,

I am so sorry to hear that you received another kickout. I will pray that you will get registered, back in PGN, and then out of PGN much sooner than anticipated. (((hugs)))
