Day 22 PGN

Although today is Saturday and PGN isn't open we still count all of the days! Or at least I do!

Todays English to Spanish Word:

Pictures

Cuadros

We received some pictures of Maria from our adoption coordinator this week. They were actually taken on October 2nd before we went on our second visit trip. I always enjoy getting these pictures, because I get to see how Maria is interacting with others when it's not us taking the pictures.


Yesterday concluded 3 weeks in PGN after we were re-submitted. I am still hopeful that we will conform to the 4.5 week average of being in PGN. That would mean that we should expect to "get out of PGN" in the next week to two weeks. I know that I am probably being overly optimistic about the timeline and that's OK...it's what keeps me going. PGN seems to have very little rhyme or reason as to whose case gets signed off and when. Some people have been waiting months in PGN while others get out in a matter of days. I belong to a couple of Guatemalan Adoption Forums on the internet. These are places where adoptive parents go to exchange information, ideas and lend support. Of course one of the main topics are the timelines....everyone looks and counts the days of everyone else to see how long their process is taking and try to predict their own. You can see our timeline on the right. I can't wait until I can add the line:
WE ARE OUT OF PGN!
Have A Great Day!
