Back from Guat

I just wanted to update everyone! I came back from Guatemala on Sat. Hopefully we are back on track and can get things moving. Pretty much we lost a year working with morons. (edit for agency discussion violation) I will let you all know when we are in PGN for real this time. I am beyond frustrated at this point, but have faith that it all can be fixed and in PGN fairly quickly! Little Hudson will be 2 next month and we just want him home as soon as possible.

How incredibly sad that you have had to bring in specialists to finish this for you. I am sending you warm wishes that everything gets straightened out quickly and he is home soon.

Here is the update within the rules.....


We were lied to and never submitted to PGN in June 08. We hired a new person "L" to take over our case while I was down there. So many lies. LIES LIES LIES. I am still in shock that we wasted and entire year dealing with ***clowns. I am thankful that we found "L" and he is going to fix the mess that has been made. We should have a hearing in Mixco where the birthmom, PGN, and CNA are there. This will take care of the BMI and then they will send us to PGN to finish the process. "L" seems very well respected. We were able to go to court and talk to the judge and then we went to PGN and he set up the meeting to discuss our file. This is when he found out it had NEVER been submitted. He is taking our old notary to Mixco on Monday to give a statement tot he judge and he is going to hand over the file to "L". This is the plan. Hopefully it all goes smoothly. Thank God for "L". He actually knows what he is doing and has a plan of action to fix this mess. We are hoping the hearing in the next week so we can get IN PGN as soon as possible. "L" is very compassionate and is NOT happy about the stupid people we were working with.

Oh My Gosh Carri
I haven't been around much and I didn't realize the debacle that had occured with Hudson's case. Thank goodness you have a good representative now and things can get back on the right track. I'm so mad for what you and your little guy have had to go through. I hope it's straightened out and he will be home soon. Stay Strong!!

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Cases like yours make me so mad as there is no reason this little boy could not be home with his family.
