We were happy to receive these pictures....the first ones without a hat on! We can finally see that she has hair....and it looks like plenty of it!

We sent a package to Maria and they sent us pictures of her with the clothes we sent. The pink dress is one that we sent to her and the other clothes are placed around her in the pictures.

I haven't posted for a while, so I apologize that I didn't get these photo's uploaded sooner. Maria was not quite 2 months old in these photos. I haven't received an updated medical report yet, but our adoption coordinator said that she is scheduled to go to the doctor either this week or next, so hopefully we will receive an update as to her weight, length and head circumference. I have been doing some shopping for Maria and had quite a few items, so I thought I would send down a box of clothes to her. I was packing the box and I realized that one of the sleepers was the same one she is wearing in these pictures. What a coincidence. I decided to hold on to that one for a keepsake. Right now we are still at the beginning of the Guatemalan adoption process. We are still waiting for our I-171. This is a one line document that simply states that you have been approved to bring an orphan into the United States. It is a very small document, but incredibly important. We expect it any day. Our process can start in Guatemala without the I-171, but we obviously need it prior to doing anything with the US Embassy. Hopefully, one of these days, I will go home and check the mail and it will be there!
