Merry Christmas Everyone!






Hello again! We got a little surprise this morning, new pictures of Ana. Our DNA was supposed to be taken this week but our lawyer was unable to get in due to a high volume of people ahead of us. He has an appointment on December 26th. This is really the end of the journey as far as Guatemala goes. I think it's been harder waiting for a DNA test than it was waiting in PGN.

All we know is that Ana will be home very soon and we are so grateful. With adoptions in Guatemala things are getting harder and harder for families to get their babies home. I know many friends who had similar time lines to Mark and I, and they are still waiting get out of PGN. So for many of you that ask, "How can you stand it?" or "Why does it take so long?" I really don't know. All I know is that we are blessed and so very lucky to be where we are in this process. God had His plan in Ana being a part of our lives. I believe He has a plan as to when He wants her here with all of us. What a wonderful family and group of friends she has waiting for her!

How cute! Were you really up at 4am to post this??? That's my sleep schedule as well - the "Waiting for PINK sleep"! :)

I am so happy for you guys! It won't be long once the DNA is processed.

I hope you have a wonderful holiday! Merry Christmas!
