Great Day!

We have heard that there was a DVD in the mail of all the kids at the children's home mailed out last week, and today it came! I am waiting for Daniel to get home to see it, and later we will try to post Ellie's portion. (We might have to arm wrestle for the rights to blog it! :) )
I also had lunch with felllow blogging Guatemama Jami, a sweetheart! She might not ever want to hang out because we were a water-spilling, McD rule-breaking, bullying, circus of a family today, but it was such fun to chat. :) Please pray their little Hudson gets out of PGN soon! You can just see it in her eyes how much she wants that little guy home.
I am praying that we have our documents (Power of Attorney and I171-H) in place by next week! We meet Ellie one month from today! We actually arrive in Guat. City on the 21st, but will not have enough daylight to make the trip to the children's home (the roads, I hear, will be mountainous with no lights). Grace's mom, Amy, and I have volunteered to sit on the hood of the vehicle with spotlights, but we still did not get the go ahead. :)
Keep praying for Grace, for her health, and for her case to get moving. She is having trouble with both, and needs to be heading for home!

Hey Whitney,

We know your husband's folks and are also adopting from Guatemala. We have our first referral and are waiting on our second. I was curious by your statement from Monday when you stated your 1171 needed to be updated...why is that? I hadn't heard of that before.

We've enjoyed reading both you and your husband's blogs and totally relate to your hearts.

Leah,
We need the the third box checked on the 171, instead of the first box, and our state will not do that until we have a referral. Please shoot me an email, whitndan@aol.com. It would be fun to chat!
