Update Friday!
So, our update from the agency today was nothing: "Waiting to get Pre-Approval and Family Court Report to enter PGN." No news.
BUT - The mailman had a great update for us: We got our DNA match in the mail today!!! They send a report and a picture taken of Eliana with her birthmom. Hooray!
'What's next?' you might ask. Well, what we got is actually a copy of the DNA report. When the agency gets the original they will send it to us. The report was notarized at the lab in NC. We will have to get the report certified in Graham, NC then authenticated in Raleigh, NC and then authenticated at the Guatemalan Consulate in Atlanta GA. Road Trip! Ok, just kidding.
Meanwhile, our DNA report should have been sent to the embassy, also. They will look over all our stuff and then will issue Pre-Approval for us to enter PGN. They say to allow about 4 weeks to get Pre-Approval.
So, while we were not worried about DNA matching (we had no concerns about that) we are really excited to have one more step done and to be making progress!!
Hooray!

I am happy you got your DNA match at least. What I wouldn't give for a picture of V's birthmom. We know nothing about them.
I hear ya on the gift giving. I am the kind of person who takes great pains to find the perfect card and gift for people. And I appreciate when they do the same for me. I just saw Marriott gift cards at Shop Rite today and thought, I wish we would have had those when we went to Moscow. Breakfast buffet was expensive!
i AM SO HAPPY THINGS ARE MOVING ALONG!

YAY for the DNA match!! I was just remembering that we got ours on Halloween last year -- we danced around all night because that was the first pic we had gotten of Brayden since his referral on Sept 1.
Congrats, guys! You and Eliana are in our thoughts and prayers.
I believe you met Mindy on your visit trip. She shared your address with me. She thought the little guy in red in the Oct 13 picture was our son. Yes! it is Joseph. It was so neat to see a picture that was not posed of him. I hope we are all bring our little ones home soon.
