THE WAITING IS THE HARDEST PART...

We basically have nothing new to report! I had a pretty rough week emotionally! Everything is so out of our control - all we can do is wait for the phone to ring!
There was some promising news out of Guatemala mid-week. Apparently the new head of PGN agreed to meet with the adoption attorneys. He all but admitted that they are not releasing the files because of some political issues. The attorneys allegedly convinced him that the law he is waiting on to pass (related to adoption reform and not good for adoptions) is not going to pass and he supposedly agreed to release the cases. There have been more cases released this week, than since March, but not the "flood" that I was hoping for.
I am looking forward to Mother's Day weekend - I am going on an all-day retreat tomorrow and looking forward to being with family on Sunday. I knew there was an outside chance that Rebecca would be with us for Mother's Day, but I didn't have my heart set on it. Now Father's Day - that's a different story!
I can't wait to have good news to post or pictures to share! Until then, still learning to trust God in the waiting!
