We are registered with the New Central Authority. Our agency sent an email letting us know that we can breath a little easier! What's next?! Our prayer is back into PGN (like our Attorney General's office.) We are praying for a speedy process in PGN with no Kick-Out's (KO's). They can kick your paperwork out for the smallest thing...even a typo! Before January 1st, the average stay in PGN was 8 weeks. I know that our attorney's track record is better than that as she just got a case through PGN in 3 weeks! I have heard different opionions about how long PGN will now take and some think that things may go quicker as they've had time to get a lot of cases out since none could enter or re-enter. We will see.
After PGN, we are required to have a second DNA done on Malaena-Sloan that proves she is still the same baby we agreed to adopt. Then will come a new birth certficate naming Malaena as a Harris with our names as her parents. This will be followed by a VISA and a passport. The last hoop to jump through is we will get an embassy appointment. That will be a happy day as that will be our pick-up trip.
We are so ready to enter the "FINAL PHASE." Donnie does a great job at maintaining normalcy in our lives. I am quite consumed with the adoption. The weather affects me a lot! Today, we are having an ice storm and the boys were dismissed from school at 10:30. So, I have lots of time to research adoption stuff between doing laundry. Please continue to pray for Malaena-Sloan and her adoption. Thanks!
