REBECCA IS 4 MONTHS OLD - small update

Here is a brief update on what is happening in Guatemala and with our case. On April 1st a new person took over as the director of PGN - which is the Guatemalan equivalent of the Attorney General's Office (see last post). This is the place where our case is currently awaiting approval. Since the change in leadership (and the Easter holiday), there has not been much progress happening with any cases. From the best I can understand, the reviewers are still processing the cases. Before they can be approved, the director has to "sign-off" on them. I have this image of this man's desk having a pile of files on it that just need his signature. It's crazy to think that families are waiting to be united with their babies and just this man's signature is holding up the show.
We did receive word today from our agency that our case was actually "kicked-out" of PGN in mid-April as they needed an additional piece of info from the Guatemalan attorney. It was resubmitted on April 20th. I am glad I found out after the fact. At least we know someone has been looking at our file. Monday is a holiday in Guatemala, so no more news until at least mid-week next week!
I am mostly doing well with it all, but some days are hard! I long to see new pictures of her, but I know it will be hard to see her changing and growing and to not have her with us!
The boys (all three of them) have much more patience than me! David likes to show everyone "Rebecca's room". We went to a petting farm yesterday and I told him the pig was expecting a baby. Later in the evening when he was telling Chris about his time at the farm, he said he saw pig that was "adopting a baby"! It was pretty cute!
Hopefully I'll have good news to report next week! Where would we be without HOPE!
