Expecting from Guatemala

Welcome to Mari's page. We hope you will enjoy learning about our journey to Guatemala.
Kurt and I are very excited to meet our baby girl, Marissa.
We will try to keep you updated whenever there is news.
Please feel free to send us comments.
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers!

If it seems slow, do not despair,
for these things will surely come to pass.
Just be patient!
They will not be overdue a single day.

Finally something-one small thing!!!

HAGUE ACCREDITED AGENCIES ANNOUNCED
REPRINTED FROM ANOTHER YAHOO GROUP ---
ACCREDITATION IS REQUIRED FOR HAGUE CONVENTION ADOPTIONS AFTER 4/1/08.
NOT ALL COUNTRIES ARE HAGUE CONVENTION COUNTRIES
I-600 As filed before 4/1/08 should be "grandfathered" as to requirements for training etc. under the current laws, but may require an accredited agency......
" Good Morning Friends!If you are anywhere in the process of international adoption please visit the website below. This is a list of agencies that have met the deadline and criteria to meet the Hague convention. If your agency is not on the list, you need to find out why. After April 1, 2008 it will be nearly impossible for them to place a child. Unfortunately, there are agencies out there still promising the placement of a child, without a hope of being able to after April 1. I would be heart sick to find out that any of you wasted any precious time or lost money with out bringing home a child. Please be careful, and please do some research

The Miracle of Adoption
"We witness a miracle every time a child enters into life. But those who make their journey home across time and miles, growing within the hearts of those who wait to love them, are carried on the wings of destiny and placed among us by God's very own hands."
