I haven't written lately so I thought I should give a brief update. Things continue to progress in Guatemala. I actually got to see the new birth certificate where I am listed as Maya's mother. It was so exciting to actually see it! This week they have applied for her Passport and should have it anytime now. As soon as we get it, then they will start the process for the DNA testing. So the way things look now, I hope to be picking her up early in June. However, in the mean time there is an issue with Immigration that we are working on and it needs to be resolved before I can bring her home. So please pray the issue is resolved soon. Immigration has all the paperwork they need from me so all I can do now is wait and pray.
I got new pictures of Maya this week. She continues to look very happy. She is now 23 pounds and is 29.9 inches long. She is also standing. I don't know if she is walking or not but she is standing. Her foster mother cut her hair sometime between 10 and 11 months and it is still short and she looks more like a little girl than a baby. I can't wait to see her again.
Maya, I love you so much and can't believe I am getting ready to miss Mother's Day with you here. I think of you 24 hours a day and can not wait to spend that time with you instead of just thinking about you. Mommy will see you soon.
