Talking Received birth certificate from GC today!

Yay! We received our birth certificate from Guatemala City today... exactly 5 weeks from the date we got out of PGN.

I wanted to post for those with birth certificates in GC who are watching timelines.

Nicholas turns 16 months old this week... it has been a long journey. I am so excited that he is almost home!
