Ending the Week with Some Positive, Good News

My friend Yesenia has a little girl in Guatemala that she and her hubby having been waiting for since September 4, 2007. They have jumped every hurdle and through every hoop imaginable. Recently PGN stated they needed a written MP report before they could approve their case and the report arrived today. YAY!!!! I so hope PGN finally gives them the green light and approves their case. Their little girl has been apart from her new mommy and daddy for way too long and it's time for their family to finally be together.

What many of you may not know is that we live in a very small community. Our little town has a population of about 1300 and is surrounded by corn and bean field. The nearest towns are 5-8 miles on every side of us and all are small as well. For a matter-of-fact, we are probably the 2nd largest of the 5 towns in this area :-) So, it's very exciting to me that we have an adoptive family of 2 girls from China just down the block, another adoptive family with 2 boys from Ethiopia, and another family who is in process of adopting from Ethiopia while waiting on their China adoption. Then of course there is our family with 1 Guatemalan princess and an Ethiopian princess on the way soon.

Today our other Ethiopia family in waiting, The Burt's, received that all important call. They have been referred a 2 1/2 month old baby boy. They have been waiting over 4 years for this day and I am so very, very happy for them. I don't think they have anything posted on their blog yet, but keep an eye out for a referral post and then drop by and give them a big congratulations!

I'm sure many of you have been thinking a lot about Haiti this week. I know it's been on my mind frequently and has been a tough week. So being able to end the week with some good news is really wonderful. Here's hoping next week brings lots of good news!!!
