All I seem to be doing is waiting. Waiting for the Central Authority to get there @#$? together so we can be re-submitted to PGN. For those who need a reminder PGN is a beautiful palace on top of a hill in Guatemala. Inside the palace sits a king. He sits on his throne and gets to chose which orphaned child will have a family that day or which child will have to wait a day longer. Our problem is that we were kicked out of the palace and now we are trying to get back in, except the king has the drawbridge up and won't let anyone in. I'm considering raiding the palace or possibly burning it down. Anyone want to help. Meanwhile back on the Riggio Ranch we are slowly coming to a finish with our construction. The new addition should be done in another month or so. The paint fumes are horrendous and with my asthma breathing has been difficult.
I've been thinking about posting a letter to Faith, but I've decided i'd wait, wait, wait, until I received the news that shes on her way home. I want to save all my good emotion for then. I'm afraid if I write now then my emotions will get fogged over by the grief of not having her home now.
I'm anxiously awaiting news that we have been registered and as soon as it arrives I will let everyone know. I also wanted to thank everyone for your continuous thoughts and prayers, they mean more than you know.

I am a SAHM who has been married for 10 years. My husband and I have 4 children. Our youngest who we adopted from Guatemala. We have 4 dogs and a Poppy and hope to add another child to our family through adoption. This blog is about us.

Love the story about the palace and the king. I am ready to go storm the place with you. If we could just slip our files in through a secret window or something . . . Hang in there - I think that we are making progress!

I talked to the director of the children's home yesterday (she is an American living in Guatemala). She said that she believes things are moving forward, but it is just taking time, and we need to give it a chance. You know, NOTHING happens fast in Guatemala! She also said that we should NOT pursue a lawsuit right now (threads on Guatadopt) because that will only pull resources away from the CA. I really think that we will hear something in the next day or two.
I hope you hear that your case is registered. I hope to get confirmation of our registration sometime this week. Let us back into PGN so we can bring our girls home!
Hang in there. I will burn the palace along side you, just to let these kids come home.
I have my torch ready! This is so tough. Some days I just have to remember to breathe and I have to reach for the paper bag...other days I dream of the day when this is all a distant memory and my biggest worry is a dirty diaper.
I am with ya hoping for some movement SOON.
I hope you get great news that you are all set with the CA soon! This is so hard. I will be checking back!
