More news

We received news this week that the "lawsuit" that was filed against the PGN for these birthmother interviews was not successful, but they have appealed it. If we want to go forward with the birthmother interview we would have to sign a waiver saying that our agency (and the lawyer who is the director of the orphanage that Rosalia was at) are not liable if the PGN decides that something is not right during the interview and wants to remove Rosalia, etc. After talking with several people, (and some restless nights) we have decided to proceed, since most of the other lawyers and adoptive parents are doing so. We also won't go anywhere until this interview is done. The appeal and court stuff will take too long. From our reports MOST of the interviews are going well, although there is always the chance that the birthmother can change her mind and if she doesn't answer something to the satisfaction of the interviewers they can ask for further investigation. If the interview goes well, reports are that "most" cases are being released within 2-3 weeks now.

Kind of scary, but we thought it best to try and get this hurdle out of the way so we can try and get home sooner. Hopefully we will hear more this week.

Rosalia and I have been able to get to know some of the other adoptive parents and their children in the apartment complex. Still raining everyday.. mostly in the afternoons. Rosalia is still walking while holding onto things. She has been a little more verbal and is doing the cutest scrunch of her nose when she smiles. She is the cutest girl.... IF I must say so!!

I will let you know when we find out when our interview will be. We will need all the prayers we can get. Miss you all!!!
