out out out out OUT!
I can hardly believe it, but it is indeed true -- I have in front of me the official word from the Procuraduria General de la Nacion: we are OUT. I got the call on Friday afternoon, long before I expected it (other FTC families have been waiting over 9 weeks; I managed to squeak through in the merest 8 weeks plus 1 day). I believe the tias (my aunt Anne and cousin Sasha) have brought the most excellent karma down to Guatemala -- we've had a wonderful week together, with sunny skies, consistently tasty meals, and now, to top it off, the best news of all. Pablo is freed from house arrest, and we've been galavanting about town this weekend to celebrate. Now we await the completion of the final part the process -- deed of adoption, birth certificate, second DNA, passport, visa, embassy doctor... home. I will be home for thanksgiving.

Are you home yet?
Can you let us know how you're doing? I've been following your blog quietly here, but I'm worried that you've posted nothing in a long time. Hoping all is well, and to see you sometime soon in the big City...
Esme,
