OUT!!! OUT!!! OUT!!!
We got "THE CALL" yesterday. We are OUT of PGN!!! The agency says we should travel for pick up in 4-6 weeks! For as long as this process has taken (almost two years) the fact that we are out is almost surreal! So now you're all wondering what's next? We now wait for a new birth certificate and passport which are then submitted with our other paperwork to the embassy in Guatemala. The embassy authorizes the 2nd DNA test (to make sure the child at the end of the process is the same as the one tested at the beginning of the process) which in Guatemala adoption circles is called Orange. Then the 2nd DNA test is done and sent to a lab here in the US. The lab confirms the match and sends the results back to the embassy. A few days later we are issued Pink-our visa appointment at the embassy. I'm not sure how much the agency will communicate with us on all of these steps, but if they tell me I'll post them here. Thanks for checking in and sticking with us through all of this!!!
