Well, Kyle and I are in Guatemala now. I came down Monday and he came on Wednesday. We thought we'd be going home Saturday. But, as we've found out in the adoption process, nothing can go as planned.
We were supposed to get the infamous "pink slip" yesterday. It's basically permission from the US embassy to pick up the baby. However, as we waited at the embassy doctor for her final check up, we got the news that we didn't recieve it. A form that should have been sent from the USCIS office in New Orleans was never sent. So, we went on a wild goose chase this morning trying to track down this office. It's been evacuated and moved to Kentucky and all the files are still "en route." So, it will be at least Monday before anything can be done....meaning the earliest we can come home would be next Saturday. Possibly later.
Of course, as everyone has reminded me, this is the risk that you take when you come down before you get the "pink slip." I guess I just thought it woulnd't happen to us.
We know that nothing is impossible with God, and that, if He chooses, that form could show up without anyone doing anything. So, we're praying that a miracle takes place so we can come home sooner than expected. One of us will be going home on Sunday regardless.......we just have to choose who goes and who stays.
On a brighter note.....Ellie is doing wonderful. She's very happy (most of the time!) and so cute. We still can't believe that she will be home soon.
Here she is. Eliana Elisabeth Brogdon.
