Midstream....

I apologize for starting this blog midstream...I've been blogging on a private site up until this point and I know if I wait until I have time to catch this blog up, I'll never get it done (er..started).

I am adopting a baby boy from Guatemala and after, what seemed like forever in the paperchase and an unusual length of time waiting for a boy referral (my typical luck), I finally received the call on February 5th at 10PM asking if I was ready for a referral. Technicalities. I'm sure my case manager had trouble keeping a straight face when she asked me that question since I had sent her a deluge of emails with nary a word, but only images such as a pacing smiley.

I fell in love instantly which, to be honest, surprised me. DNA authorization came quick on 2/15 and it was collected on 2/16. Here he is getting his fingerprint done...I think he looks like he's saying, "Can ya believe this?"The results came in the mail on 3/5 with a 99.95% match. Now I must wait to enter FC (probably in about 2 weeks) and to get PA (running about 6 weeks these days-up from the 30 days it was previously). Typical. Rolling eyes...
