Our adoption is moving again!!

We finally received word tonight that our case is moving again. The final adoption decree was signed at the end of last week and we were submitted for new birth certificate yesterday. For the first time in three months, we finally got good news!!!
Now we wait. Nicholas was born in the same town as Callum. Callum's birth certificate in 2005 took about a week and a half. Right now, our lawyer is saying it should be 3-4 weeks, but we know some people that have waited 3-4 months. Needless to say, we won't be getting our hopes up that we will get it soon. It would be nice, but we also can't see anything in this process going ahead of schedule for us.
After we receive the birth certificate, then we are submitted for his 2nd DNA. Once he is taken in to the US Embassy in Guatemala City, the lab work comes here to North Carolina. Once we have the results back at the Embassy they issue us our appointment. That all usually takes about 2 weeks. The positive is that we now officially have another son. The negative is we still don't know when we can go and get him. Please pray for a quick turn around on the birth certificate. Our paperwork will start to expire for a second time this summer. Also, My mother and father-n-law fly over from England the end of April. What a treat it would be to have him here so that they could meet him.

It snowed here tonight. Church was canceled, so we had a nice family dinner and then a game of Candy Land. Alex won, but boy did Callum do well with his colors. It was very exciting!!!
