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.

Update from ICF

There is a rumor that the Central Authority or the Dept of State will accept agencies to register to conduct Guatemala adoptions soon. I don't know if it is true but plan to contact the Dept of State next week.

YES we are still waiting. Hanging in there. Our plan was to be able to bring Mari home by now. But obviously, there is a different plan for us. We are crossing our fingers that things will start moving and be able to submit paperwork before our dossier expires in July 2009.

We are also waiting for our agency to be accredited which is the most important part at this point. IF they do not get their accreditation we will have to start over with a new agency.

Pray for all these people to get their acts together and bring these babies home!

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."
