It's A Match!!
We Received Information From Our Adoption Agency Today Letting Us Know That The DNA Test That Was Performed Came Back As A 99.96% Probability That There Is A Maternal Connection Between Maria & The Birthmother.
That's Good News!
It Will Probably Take Another 30 Days Until We Get To The Next Phase...PGN. PGN Is Sort Of Like The Attorney Generals Office In The United States. It Is The Office That Reviews All Of Our Paperwork For The Government Of Guatemala And Approves The Final Adoption Decree...So 30 Days Till PGN...Then Approximately 2 Months In PGN...Then Another 30 Days Until Pickup....That Puts Us Right Around Christmas As A Target Date To Be Able To Bring Maria Home. I Hope It All Goes Faster Than That...But I Have Learned (& Am Continuing To Learn) To Be Patient!
