More Updates

Now that I've gotten everyone caught up since having "technical difficulties" on the last blog site, it's time to move on to the next bit of news.

Last week was a banner week in our household. I found out on Monday afternoon that I would be going in for some surgery on Thursday. On Tuesday I was in the doctor's office filling out paperwork for the surgery and on Tuesday afternoon my surgery was rescheduled for Friday. Don't worry, it was nothing major and within a couple days after surgery I was back to normal. Okay, for those who really know me, 'normal' may not be an indication that you shouldn't worry :-)

Despite all the surgery stuff, it was a good week because we received updated pictures of Liliana. She has really changed over the last 1 1/2 months and is an absolute doll baby! We also received the following comments from our agencies other Guatemala Program Coordinator, Edna . . .


Shenny, the foster mom, says the baby is doing wonderfully. Liliana smiles often, she focuses on people and things, she turns towards sounds, she has a strong grip and strong legs. These pictures were taken on July 13.

While the photos were certainly a crowd pleaser in our house, there still hadn't been any movement forward on our case. We finally received a note from Julie that she had received an update from our attorney on Monday. As of yesterday, July 24th, our attorney would have the final birth mom document that she needed and she hoped to begin the legal process this week. We could actually be in Family Court (FC) by the end of the week. YEAH! I'll keep everyone posted.
