Ana Lucia S-----n!!!!

Yes, that is her new name!!!!
I emailed my agency coordinator this morning to find out when I was registered with the Mixco Civil registry. She emailed back and said the new passport was picked up Friday so evidently the birth certificate is already done. I can't believe it!!

I have so much to do. I have to finish the nursery. Find out about airline tickets. I am just floating today and don't even care anymore that I have an earache. I AM REALLY HER MOTHER NOW!!!!!!!!

COME ON ORANGE!!!!!!!!!

Day of Prayer

Today has been declared a Day of Prayer for those waiting for Mixco bc's and those who will be waiting. We are also praying for changes in hearts of those working at the Mixco Civil Registry and Minors' Court. Please join us today in praying.
Thanks,
Gail and Johanna Faith

Waiting and Waiting

This is the absolute worst part of adoption. All the waiting. I am very thankful that my wait for PGN approval was short, only seven weeks. Now I am waiting for Johanna's new birth certificate from Mixco. Mixco has set up their own little approval system. I guess they don't trust PGN or something. The civil registry in Mixco can take up to 30 days to approve a case for a new birth certificate. After they approval it takes a few more days to get the bc. It is really ridiculous because other towns give out bc's in days.

Let the praying begin!!! I am really praying hard that I get the birth certificate soon. I also have the prayer team at my church praying the same thing.

PGN - Praise God Now . . . and forever!!

I finally broke down and called PGN this morning. It only took 4 tries to get through. You can probably guess what Laura told me by the title of the post. LOL
I got out of PGN on January 28!!! Today is my sil's birthday so we are really going to celebrate.
Thank you for all the prayers. Please pray now that I get Johanna's Mixco birth certificate without too much delay.
