Guatemala Birth Mother Interview Deadline

New Pics of The Bebe!

]]> The Bebe is growin’!

And so is Mama?

While the Bebe grows 3 pounds and 3 inches his Mama is growin’ a little too while waiting for him to come home. I can’t exactly call that pregnancy weight though can I?

Is it adoption weight, waiting weight, baby weight?

I’m not too worried, though. I lost over ten pounds when AJ came home. I don’t think I EVER sat down (or slept).

An update on the Bebe…DNA and Family Court are being scheduled and we are, thankfully, registered with CNA. It looks like things are moving but it still looks like he won’t be joining our family until at least fall.

On a side note: I’m at Props and Pans reviewing Lemonsquare’s new CD for kids..and its a giveaway!

Urgent Notice from US Embassy

]]> If you have a registered Power of Attorney (before December 31, 2007) the US Embassy states the you MUST Register with the CNA before February 12, 2008.

From the US Embassy:

On February 8, 2008, Guatemala’s National Council for Adoptions (CNA) announced that adoption cases “entered” in Guatemala before Dec. 31, 2007 must be registered in the offices of the CNA, which are temporarily installed in the Secretary of Social Welfare (Secretaria de Bienestar Social or SBS) of the Presidency, located at 32 Calle 9-34, Zona 11, Colonia Las Charcas, by Tuesday, Feb. 12 (inclusive).  The office will be open during the weekend from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.

The Government of Guatemala further advises that those notaries who presented their cases to the members of the earlier National Council for Adoptions must bring their copy of the earlier registration to the office in the SBS during the above mentioned hours, so that a new registration number can be assigned.

Unfortunately, according to Guatadopt, if there is any sort of mistake on the form the case will not be submitted and may not be grandfathered.  Kevin’s advice is to simply accept all forms, review them all, and then ask for clarifications or mistakes to be fixed. This way all cases are officially submitted and grandfathered. Is this not a better way to complete the process than standing in line for 10 hours a day waiting for people to go over a form line by line?

Perhaps we need a US Adoption Adviser/Ambassador. Any nominees, (ummm, Kevin) ?

We know that our case was registered with CNA but now that it has to be reregistered we will keep you posted…
