Adoption Update

I’ve been refraining from posting adoption news for fear of jinxing anything. But we just got some new pictures, so I can’t help myself. The process is in the final stage of the Guatemalan government, but this stage is a total black hole. It could last four more weeks, or eight more weeks or they could decide that they didn’t like the font we used in our application and kick it back to start this part all over. And there’s no feedback at all until a decision is made, so we just wait.

But our baby is doing well. At least as far as we can tell from a thousand miles away. We get a report every month with pictures and a doctor’s report. She’s gaining weight nicely and appears to be a smiley baby. She turned five months old on April 20th. If things turn out well we could have her by the time she turns seven months.

I’ve been holding out on posting pictures for fear of jinxing things, but what the hell. Here are two pictures of hopefully our soon to be adopted daughter.

And here’s her big sister in her new blue cast. She only has to wear the cast for two more weeks.
