This afternoon could not have been better. After a long exhausting few weeks of work, I got good news in spades. What a wonderful way to end a week before I go spend a few days in West Texas with family! First, my agency shared the news that they are "highly confident" based on all indications from the Guatemalan government, U.S. Department of State, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Congress and UNICEF (all the players in intercountry adoptions) that Guatemalan adoption cases currently in-process will proceed to finalization under the current laws in effect when my adoption was started. There is a strong desire amongst all parties to get a clearly defined process (by which in-process cases may be completed) within the coming days. I feel like a big weight has been lifted off my shoulders, and I can focus on the "good stuff" full time now without worrying about all the things out of my control. I am practically giddy, and I don't really do giddy much.
Then, I got new pictures of Abby. Wow, what a doll! Don't take my word for it..see for yourself.
I also found out that Abby will be going to a new foster mom in the next few days. Because Guatemalan adoptions slowed down when my agency stopped taking referrals, one of the foster mothers with the most experience that my agency really says is great had an opening. I really appreciate what her foster mother for the last few months has done for Abby, and I hope Abby makes the adjustment without too many issues. I trust my agency, and if they believe Abby can benefit more by going to a new foster mother, that is fine with me.
