We're Home With One

Made it back to TX with one of our two little girls. The embassy would not pass our paperwork for our other little girl while we were there and sent us a nasty email stating we were now under investigation after we asked. Thankful to have gotten the one and will wait for #2. We now have to get refingerprinted. We'll see what time tells.

Having a great time with #1. She's adjusting well thus far.

First, congrats on having one daughter home!

Second, I'm so sorry your other daughter's case is being delayed. I hope it finishes soon.

Enjoy this precious time with your DD!

Congratulations on your daughters homecoming!

Just a thought--can you have your congressman's office inquire about your daughter's case in guatemala? Even if they can't interfere with the in the investigation, pehaps the embassy will get a little motivation to work quickly.

Prayers to you and best wishes for a speedy homecoming.

Congratulations on bringing one of your daughters home. I'm so happy that she's adjusting well at this point. Praying for your second daughter; what a rotten way to be treated by our own Embassy. I hope all's cleared up quickly so DD#2 is home soon.

Congratulations on bringing home your daughter. What an exciting time!

However, I am sorry to read that the Embassy was not helpful for your other adoption. May the investigation be speedy so your family can be reunited forever soon.
