Not for the weak at heart!

So, we've received PA from the US Embassy and many are asking...How much longer? If we learned nothing else from Samantha's adoption, we learned that we just can't answer that question! Today, our agency informed us that PGN (the Guatemala Attorney General who signs off all adoption cases) has stopped releasing cases.

Why? Well, the new President has just installed a new attorney general and a new assistant attorney general. So, all is a bit disorganized right now while these new appointees settle in and figure out what they think is best.

Here is the quote from our agency
"PGN has posted a sign saying that no more cases will be released. They say that all cases will be turned over to the central authority for review and interviews again with birth mothers. This is very unfair, especially to cases that have already been reviewed and approved by PGN but not yet released. It is unlikely that any cases will come out of PGN for the next few weeks while this is all battled out. Cases already picked up from PGN are fine."

The good news is, we're not IN PGN yet. We expected to be submitted next week. All we need is an updated medical on Giovanni. Amazingly enough, as would only happen in the world of international adoption, PGN is still accepting cases, even though they aren't releasing them! I guess the fun never ends!

We are at peace and are trusting in God's promise to bring Giovanni home. Keep praying and we'll keep you posted!

Blessings
