We're Getting Closer!

Gabriela's Guatemalan passport was issued last Friday. We have a scanned copy of it and it is very cute. It's funny to see such an important document with a little baby's picture on it!

The 2nd DNA test was done today. The samples were sent via FedEx to a lab in the US and are scheduled to arrive on Wednesday. It usually takes another week for the results to get FedExed back to the US Embassy in Guatemala and for them to issue our "pink slip." The pink slip will tell us the exact date and time that we have to be there for our Embassy and Visa appointments.

We cannot wait to bring her home! Her room is just about done. I'll post pictures later this week!

Love,
Joe & Tara
