BABY ETHAN WILL 1YOA ON 2-14-04 AND WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR HIM SINCE HE WAS 3WEEKS OLD.

WE HAVE BEEN IN THE PGN SINCE 12-5 AND OUR AGENCIES TIMEFRAMES CONTINUE TO BECOME LONGER. I TRY NOT TO FIND FAULT IN THEM BUT IT IS REALLY GETTING HARD WAITING AND MY "ZOLOFT" MOMENTS ARE MORE FREQUENT! SO, WITH THE UNCERTAIN FUTURE OF WHEN WE WILL BRING HIM HOME WE ARE GOING FOR OUR FIRST VISIT.

WE ARE STAYING @ THE RADISSON AND WILL ONLY BE VISITING AT THE ORPHANAGE. IS ANYONE ELSE STAYING AT THE RADISSON? ANY ADVISE ON WHAT TO EXPECT/NOT EXPECT FROM OUR TRIP? BABY? ORPHANAGE? INTERNATIONAL TRAVELS? GUATEMALA CITY?

ANY POINTERS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. WE ARE VERY EXCITED, CAUTIOUS AND NERVOUS!

TAKE CARE & THANK YOU!

Hi Angel,

Have a good stay in Guatemala, this will be so special to see your son the first time!

I've not many tips to give you since we didn't stay in Guatemala City itself and my son was not in an orphanage.

This board gives a lot of information about travelling, you surely read most of the threads already.

Have a good trip and enjoy your little one while being there. Hopefully you'll get him home soon!!!!

Sincerely,
