The most beautiful color in Guatemalan adoption is PINK!!

We just got the call!!!
Our embassy appointment is February 24th-the very day he turns 6 months old!!

We are in absolute disbelief!! Happy disbelief!! OUr beautiful baby boy is finally coming home!!

Thanks for all your prayers and support-I have met so many wonderful people here, and will always value the friendships we have made!

I pray that there are many, many more calls tonight for whatever process you are in!
Take care,
Sabra

Hey, hey, hey! Woohoo Sabra! I'm guessing it's the real thing this time! So excited for you. Not that I'm complaining, but wow, they really don't give you a lot of notice before your Embassy appointment. Yikes. Good thing I've already started packing!

Safe travels to you, and post lots of pix when you bring that sweet baby home. Congrats to you!

Marjorie
