Well, after months of waiting and a mountain of paperwork, we have finally received our adoption referral from Guatemala. Here are some pictures of our new baby boy!
Our son was born in Guatemala City on November 26, 2006 and weighed in at a little over 6 lbs. The next step in this process just might be the hardest. We have to wait for all of the legal paperwork to clear before we can travel to Guatemala to pick him up. On average, this process takes about 4 to 6 months. That should give us time to think of the perfect name for him.
Guatemalan adoptions are unique in the fact that they allow the adoptive parents to visit their child prior to the finalization of the adoption. We are hoping to take at least one trip sometime in the next few months to go and see our son. It’s going to be hard to come back home without him, but it will definitely make the wait a little more bearable.
Our adoption agency has told us that we can expect to receive new pictures every 4 to 6 weeks. We’ll be sure to send them out to friends and family members as soon as we get them. Thank you all for your love and support as we continue on our adoption journey.
Sincerely,
Pete and Tanya
