We have Gabriela's Birth Certificate!

Mixco issued Gabriela's birth certificate today! We were very worried that this process would take another 30 working days, but they have come through for us! Praise the Lord! Her Guatemalan passport will be issued tomorrow. The 2nd DNA test will be done on Monday. Then, we wait for the US Embassy to issue our "pink slip." This will tell us the date and time of her Embassy appointment to issue her Visa.

We are thinking about traveling around the 17th of March and staying in Antigua for Holy Week and Easter. We have heard that it is an unbelievable time. Let's just hope we can get a hotel room during this busy time!

Thanks for checking in on us! We are so excited!
