Update on our conference call

An update about our conference call:

We were able to speak with our social worker, the program coodinator for Bethany, and the contact actually in Guatemala.


Apparently when Jose's birthmother was born, her documents were recorded with an error that was passed on to Jose's documents now. This needs to be corrected, but can't until specific paperwork is found and sent to a certain government agency within Guatemala. We can't begin most of the adoption steps until the changes are made. So, we will have some definite delays with the process. We are praying that this will all be resolved as quickly as possible.


We did get some hopefully good news, though. Our power of attorney is in the process of being protocolized with the central registry in Guatemala and should be complete sometime this week. This means that if the amendment is passed to allow grandfathering of in-process adoptions, we should be able to continue with Jose's adoption! We're disappointed about the delay, but much more hopeful that our process will continue.


Thanks for keeping us in your prayers!
