Happy 6 months old, Nathan!

Ok, so I haven't been posting a lot lately. We've been busy. Getting Nathan's nursery ready, doing stuff around the house, working! There is not much new to report. We are SO ready for our trip- only 11 more days and we'll have him in our arms again!

There has been some notable news though on the Guatemalan Adoption front... I am attaching the JCICS report but- the gist of it is that it appears as though the Hague will be pushed back in Guatemala until April, 2008. It also appears very likely that there will be a grandfather clause- meaning all in-process adoptions will be able to continue under the old system. We feel very confident that we'll have Nathan home before April of 2008- so this is good news for us and all of the children and families currently involved in Guatemalan adoption. While this is not finalized, the probablity of the Hague being pushed back and the Guatemalan Congress approving the grandfather clause seems very good. Here's the info on JCICS

EDITED TO ADD: Guatemala eleceted a new President on Sunday. Hopefully this will mean positive change when he takes office in January, 2008. Read more about Guatemala's next President...
And some interesting background on the Vice President elect...

***On the PGN front, called again today ...we are still with the 2nd reviewer- no KO's -- 5 weeks and counting! You'd think 4 weeks on the 2nd reviewer's desk would be sufficient-- we have to be getting closer to the top of the pile!
