Happy Easter

I spoke to the girls yesterday. They sound great. Teeny speaks more clearly then the last time I spoke to her. Tiny was very chatty. They had a good Easter and were happy to tell me where they went and how they have been "acting very good".

I understand the greater plan.... and I *get* why Teeny and Tiny aren't here yet. And for everyone who has called or emailed me privately... My dad is doing good and will be better then new in no time.
Me and my family are "In it to win it"!

Please Look at these Links

I don't have a lot to report...just keeping busy.

I found this and received it today. I love it.
Spanish Language for Adoption

Then we reviewed this site
Mayan Families

and we really loved their Micro Loan project it is exactly what I want to be involved in
Micro Loans

... We will also be involved in their Chicken Project.... for obvious reasons, it really spoke to our kids..one in particular!
Chickens for Everyone...All it takes is a Peep!


So cool right?!

Side Note

Hey Mr or Miss...Lima, Peru,
Who are you? I see I have many people visit my little blog. But who is the person from Peru. I have friends from Peru....but it isn't them....So who are you...and Welcome to my site. I am so glad that you have followed my journey in adoption.
It is so intriguiing that so far away someone would find my little blog interesting and check on it so often.
I am glad you read (I am glad all my readers check on my blog) ....Please click on the Post Comment....and leave a little message or hello.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by!

*****Welcome Jimena,
I am glad you like following along. I have friends from Peru so that is why it intrigued me that someone from Lima was reading. It doesn't scare me at all! Glad you are here. Enjoy! Thank you for saying "hi"

Higher still

So the suspense is growing......
I saw someone get an approval with a 12/20 submit...
Can you barely stand it!?
Stay tuned.
EEEE!!

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
