Another day is gone and still no PA in sight for us.... We are now on day 39 and only hrs from Day 40..ughhhh  I just can't understand all the delays with PA's.... I have seen others getting their PA's with around the same dates we have.... But still where is ours???? There was one that was actually delivered to the USE after ours and they got PA today.... Is there something wrong with our file? Is there something wrong with Zackary's paper work? Is there something wrong with me for obsessing over this??? This PA wait has totally engolfed me ... I can't think of anything else lately.... If we have to wait the full 60 days it will be Dec 10th before we see anything....

Zack wants his PA!!!! and he wants it right now!!!!!

Mr. USEman

Could you please see it in your heart to issue a few PA's before Thanksgiving for Me and a few of my freinds??? We really want to move on and play with the kids at PGN for awhile... Not that we don't like you, but we feel like other kids might like to play here for a bit... So if you could please find it in your heart to let of few of out of here, we would be so grateful!!!! And our parents could stop stressing....until they reach PGN and been in for close to 40 days...

Zackary and his playmates....

Today we have been married 5 yrs, Who would have thought we would still be going strong.... Anyone that knows us knows how much we have changed in 5 yrs.... ALOT!!!! We have grown with each other and have learned to compromise.... which we never did in the beginning  LOL

We both agreed we would not buy each other anything this yr because we are going to see Zackary in 13 days and this was our Anniversary present to each other. BUT.... Steve was sneaky..... and went and bought me a NEW wedding ring.... it is just beautiful...and sent me 3 dzn roses to work today.... He is the the most WONDERFUL husband in the world.... And I LOVE HIM SO MUCH....

We are going to be such a Happy Family when Zackary comes home...(not that we aren't happy now... LOL) he will complete us....We have waited so long for this moment of having a child, and we feel very blessed to have Zackary in our lives(even if he is so far away).

I have made a new video entry....

We have 19 more days till we see Zack's sweet little face again!!!!! I have bought a ton of clothes to take down to him... We will be buying diapers, forumla and ceral as well to leave with the FM. We will get to spend 5 days with our little guy this time...YAYYYYY!!!!!

Steve stated the other night he wants to wait to start another adoption for a while, a few months ago he was all ready to start for our daughter. But any of you that knows Steve knows he really dont talk much about how this is making him feel, he tends to keep everything inside and just listens to me rant and rave (poor guy) He did say this is starting to get to him.... Well I was at that point months ago  LOL

He is going to make such a good Daddy!!!! He already talks about what he wants to teach him. I know for sure this little boy will be able to play music as this is so important in Steve's life. As was for his Father and Grandfather. So this is something that is passed from generation to generation.... I can't wait for Zack to be playing as well... Watching the 2 of them playing and beating on the drums will be amazing....

I am so Happy today for my friends Geoff and Renee, They received their OUT call today and the best is they already have their NEW BC!!!!! Hopefully they will be going to get Jack soon!!!!!!

They received their referral of Jack 3 months before we got ours for Zack, I am just so happy for them!!!! YAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!

Also it is in the works right now that they are trying to push the Hague and Ortega Law back to April 30th of 2008!!!!!! That way it would be in better timing with the US. This is the GREATEST news I have heard in months regarding Guatemala adoption!!!!!! This will let most pipeline case finish with out delays!!!!!  I just pray we can get in and out of PGN before April 30th.

I have been so disconnected lately, feeling depressed about the situation happening in Guatemala and wondering when and if Zackary would come home. I get up everday and really just want to climb back into bed and sleep till this is over, but we all know that this is impossible.... I race home everday in hopes that our PA(pre approval) is in our email in box..... but everyday A BIG FAT NOTHING!!!!!! I did email the USE to check the status of our PA today.... and got the automatic response "they will reply with in 7 business days"  I just want to know they received our results, and are at least looking at our file!!!!!

I will keep everyone posted on what happens

We received new medical on Zack today.... I was so releived as we have not received one since the beginning of Aug. And we got our 1st set of pics since his referral.... YAYYYY!!!!!

He now weighs 10lbs, is 22.4 inches long and his head circ is 14.6

He has had all his shots up to date, and from the report seems to be growing and doing well!!!!!!!

All the clothes I just bought are 3/6mos and they are going to be way to big again... LOL   but he will grow into them.....  I think 3/6mos clothes fit 12-16lbs and 24-29inches long  LOL he is going to be swimming in these  LOL But thats ok.... I'm going this week end to get him a bunch of sleepers and a few more outfits... As most Agencies are feeling the effects from the Hague already with NO more money coming IN due to NO more referrals going OUT, things are getting kinda tight. So we are taking down extra things for Zack like Formula (he is on Similac Advanced)  ceral, and a ton of diapers.

We might wait on some of the stuff as it can be bought there....

Please Keep us in your prayer as we are ready for this little boy to be part of our family forever!!!!!
