Still High!

Okay Business first. Called Laura at PGN and we are with the 2nd Reviewer. Which we knew... but it is good to know we are still holding strong! Cases all around me are getting approved. One of my close friends just got her Approval and she was a Dec 10th submission.... We are a Dec 28th submission. We are getting close. Keep in mind that there was a whole Christmas break they didn't work...so the excitement is insane!
Got new pics! YAYYYYYYYYYYY! and by the looks of it...one will love to help Caleb with the chickens... and one...err.. may pass on it! Wait till they find out where Pollo Compero gets their "pollo"...On the other hand, maybe those expressions mean they know exactly what's up with PolloCompero.


They asked me on Monday..."momma when are you coming to get me....we want to get on the plane" Then they heard Zims voice and squeeled, "Hola bebe...hola!". I love them!
HEY...anyone know the lyrics to the Spanish childrens song which is sung to the tune of "If all the Raindrops were gumdrops and lemondrops...oh what a world this would be...Standing outside with my mouth open wide...ah ah aha ah ah ah ah..."
Anyone?...please leave a comment.Thanks!

High!

So many wonderful things! We are on the 2nd reviewers desk. So that is good.
BUT BETTER YET!!!!!!!!
My secret Plan has worked....


and aren't they beautiful?! So high up in the sky...precariouslyy perched on a balcony. Everytime they see a plane they ask their fostermom "Is my mom coming to get us on the plane"
(Can you hear my heart crack wide open?)
And she tells them , "Yes she will come for you....she has to travel a long way"
(enter Fievel Mousekawitz singing, "somewhere out there")
OH! And their fostermom has 6...SIX SIX sons...so the girls will be more then prepared for coming here to our rowdy bunch!
Oh can you believe they ask all the time to go to Pollo Compero...ya don't say?!

My heart is bursting.

1st Desk

I called PGN and spoke with Laura today. We have been in 15days and are still at the 1st reviewers desk. That would be due to all the folks with incomplete files submitting before the New Year...so all their files that don't have even the slimmest slightest chance of being approved and are just sitting there clogging up the works ... they are making the 1st desk a file jam at the moment. I remember begging my agency to submit me without PA at one point...and now I understand why it is a bad idea.... you are just robbing from someone elses time with a reviewer.
The Great News....lol...Haven't been kicked out yet! (This is where you say a prayer for my file to get approval.....ie. Dear Lord please pour out a blessing of approval on their file. Please shine Your favor into this situation.Amen)
For your information Dateline will be doing a show on Guate adoptions. I think it will be on January 20th. Most families adopting from Guate agree it will be rich with "paid birthmothers" (because no one does that in this country right, ...oh no those are called "gifts").... and "stolen babies" (please remember the TWO seperate DNA tests)... or Guate being a super fast and easy place to adopt from (Oh come on!). Well whatever they choose to get ratings with....please don't forget all the truths that you have learned about adoption in this process. Heck they may really surprise everyone and give a warm fuzzy look at how families were formed through adoption....but who would watch that?!...hey, but maybe.
I know I am not always a faithful little blogger.... somedays it feels like if I don't have headlines why should I trouble you with idle blog chatter... but ...well... I have something in the works... and I don't want to get your hopes up.... I may even know within 2weeks if my idea will pan out.... so stay tuned... if it does work out I will be OH SO EXCITED...
And now a happy little pic....sigh... they are just so pretty in all their we-just-got-done-playing-outside glory

Called PGN

Got through to PGN yesterday...Can I tell you how bad I didn't like Celine Dion before.... but honestly the PGn on-hold music is terrible. First is James Blunt, "You're Beautiful", then that Beauty and the Beast song "Tale as old as Time" then two Dion songs...Then back to James Blunt... 4 songs over and over again...Do they think americans like this crap? Or maybe they think they can run us off this way. Then to continue the torture you could hold on for this loop of junk multiple times only to have someone pick up the reciever and click it back down...disconnected! The ultimate in Guatemala punishment. You are sitting there with your head in your hands as your brain leaks out your ear from the screechy howl of Celine thinking, "all that for nothing...AND I had to pay for that".
I endured the torture and got to the Laura (secretary) and she told me, "You are on the first reviewers desk, Congratulations. You are very lucky to have been submitted before the 31st. PGN is not accepting any new cases after that date. Had you not been submitted you would now not be able to get in at all"
So shove it Ms. Dion... you don't scare me!

p.s... if this post was not fun enough for you.. watch the montage again, lol

We are in PGN again.
