I have booked our 3rd trip tonight!!! We can't wait to get down there and get our hands on our little guy!!!!!!! We are going to spend Mother's Day weekend with our SON!!!

We fly our at 5:45am and arrive at 11:13am, I have booked our room at Casa Grande and Aby told me she will have Zack there at noon!!! and we will keep him till Monday morning till about 9/10am.

As far as the medicals go, Our Attorney and Marco have tried to get these from Rosita but so far both have failed... She won't answer her phone or return calls from Marco.

I don't understand, with all the problems they are having taking care of the children one would think trying to get them home ASAP would be in everyone's best interest and especially for the children interest.

We received an email just a few short minutes ago from Faithful stating that all of the Agencies children are being moved to the orphanage and  That the children at the orphange are showing signs of regression in developement, severe diaper rashes due to the humid conditions and from the cloth diapers and no dryer. Someone needs to do something here!!! Sally or Sergey needs to fly down there and see what in the hell is going on!!!!!

We are seriously considering after Zack gets out of PGN and has new BC that I will go down and live with Zack until we can come home together as a family. This way we will know he is taken care of.

I'm so happy we are going down there in 2 weeks.... It is going to break my heart to have to leave him there in these conditions. But at this point I can't quite my job and leave as much as i would love to be with my son everyday!!! How would all the bills get paid with out my income? And on the other hand how is my son going to survive living like this for to much longer??

We have asked and asked what is going on in Guatemala with our case and these medicals.. Today we are no where closer to finding out anything that we was last Tuesday.

Everyone seemed so gung-ho to get all these reports together and now nothing.... Sally is saying WE should call Aby to find out what is going on... I do believe that is her job!!!! That is what we paid the Agency for.

We have told Marco that we are trying to get these medicals and we are running out of options on how to get them... I don't know what else to do... Email Sally 10x's a day, until we get answers??

Marco says at this time we are on the desk of the 1st reveiwer, and our file has not been looked at yet. ughhhhhh  Our reveiwer has a back log of files. (UMM yeah because he needs some NO DOZ and coffee!!!! to wake up and get busy!!!!) We have been back in for 12 days and our file has just been put on the waiting list to be reveiwed, who knows how many other files are ahead of us.. acckkkkk!!!!!

At this rate Zack could be out of PGN before Aby ever gets those medicals ready!!!! It is so sad that they don't see the urgency in this matter!!! And Aby said she would make all possible, well I don't see this at all!!!!

I know today I feel sick!!! I'm just tired of all the run around we get from these people!!! As soon as we know something I will post... But I really don't believe they will be pressing the issue of getting these reports!!! and without them Marco can do NOTHING to get Zack's case expedited for medical reasons.

Please keep Clay, Matt and Carolyn in your thoughts as Clay has surgury Monday to correct his eyes. They are scared and need everyones support and prayer as they come through this and Clay is healing.

It has been such a long 11 days.... Ever since we got news of Zack's test. He is all I think about, I wake up thinking of him and checking email to see if there is something new, I think of him all day long (being the proud Mommy that I am, I show his pics to anyone that will take time to look) I rush home to see if there is anything new from Sally or Marco, I go to bed thinking of his sweet face and dream of having him home with us!!

Marco (AS) is going to TRY to help us get Zack's case expedited for medical reasons. As soon as Aby has the 3 medical reports and hands them to either our Attorney and or Marco. Marco is going to set up a meeting with the Sub Attorney General and see if we can get Zack case expedited to get him home so we can get him to the Dr.s here in the states.

There is NO way I could have made through these last couple of weeks without our family and all my friends...

And I just wanted to THANK YOU for all your support, kind words and prayers for Zack and our family.

There is lots going on right now with our Case!!

We found out Tuesday that Zack had medical issues that we was unaware of. They took Zack to an eye doctor and had him tested, as most of you know we was worried about his vision. Well those results came back not so good. Zack has optic nerve damage and only has slight vision. Sometime this is also accompanied with midline brain damage, which can result in mental retardation, seizures and abnormal growth.

With all of this they are trying to get all medicals together and get everything submitted to PGN with a request to expedite Zack's case so he can come home and get some sort of treatment for all these issues. Sally and Aby have been wonderful with trying to get all of this done as fast as humanly possible. And for that we are sooo thankful to them!!!

We have been asked more than once if this is something we really want to do. There is only one answer to that.

Zackary is OUR son and we knew going into this he might have some problems, just as if you would give birth to your own child. Things can go wrong. We are bringing this sweet baby HOME!! We love him NO MATTER what problems we ALL face ahead of us. We will face them together and head on!!! These issues don't change the love we feel for him. He has been OUR son for almost 10 months now... and how could we just turn our backs on the precious little face!!! We love him more today than we did when we received his referral pics... and that is a TON!!!

Please pray that everything goes well with trying to get Zack home and get medical treatment. I don't know how long it takes to get a case expedited and if it gets approved for this how fast it may move!!

We will keep you posted on what happens next!!

As most of you know, we are waiting to be resubmitted back to PGN....We called PGN the week of March 10th and found out we was KO....Still have not heard from our agency that we have even been KO, much less what it's for!!!

So I'm sitting here holding my breath, hoping we hear something soon!!!!

It is the 1st of the month, and an email wrote from Aby's sister stated we all would receive updates the beginning of the month... NOW lets see if it hold true... I would really LOVE it if they would take Zack to a doctor since he has not seen one since Dec. and is behind in his shots. But I will not count on that. Since the money we sent them back in Dec for Zack to see a doctor has NEVER happened... and here it is APRIL now...I have real issues with being asked for money for our son that was never used for his care as they stated!!!!

Will write more when we find out something.

Today was my SUPRISE babyshower!!!! Steve was good at keeping the secret from me... LOL

I had already made plans to go visit a freind that brought their baby home last month, so we went there for a while then Steve said we had to be somewhere about 1ish... I really just wanted to stay home and rest  LOL

We got to his Brother & SIL's and I asked what are we doing here?? and he laughed... and said nothing.. I just need to pick up something  LOL

I just wanted to THANK everyone that was there!!!! It was wonderful that you made time for US and Zackary!!!! and THANK YOU for making it so special for me!!!!

I also wanted to THANK Michelle, Mom and MaryRose for all they did with the set up, food and decorations... and the GAMES!!! I LOVE the pacifer balloon!!!!

And a big thanks to my hubby!!! for TRYING to get everyone there and stuff...

Zack will LOVE all his stuff!!!!

It was a wonderful day  I will not forget

Zack is 9 months old today!!! I sure wish he was home, but I know he will be soon... I miss him so much that it hurts. Those of you that are going through this really know what I mean!!

We called PGN again to find out we was KO again last week....UGHHHH   So yes this means we get what ever is wrong fixed and start all over in court!!!! I don't know how long it will take to fix the problem, but hope it is ASAP... as we want Zack home by his 1st b-day which is slowly slipping away...and I am starting to realize that.... it is a very sad reality for us. And at the same time we really don't care how old he is as long as he gets home!!! I know this sounds so strange.... but again those going through this knows what I mean  LOL

We did get a strange email today from Sally asking if we have had contact with our Attorney and what info has he given us? First of all we have NEVER contacted our Attorney in Guatemala nor do we have his contact info. So I have no idea where Aby came up with this to tell to Sally.... All of our info we get , we get from calling PGN and talking to Laura. So I really have no clue as to where this is stemming from..

I will post more after HOLY WEEK and we know more of what is going on... 

well we are still waiting to hear something..... It has been a month tomorrow since we was resubmitted..... and seeing all these OUT's around and after us is very promising!!!!

But we are also seeing ALOT of KO's from people with around the same date as us.... and as hard as that might be to swallow at this point... I wish if we was going to get a KO we would just get it and get it fixed so we can move forward!!!!!

We miss our son and want him home... he will be 9 months old on the 19th....and we so want him home for his 1st b-day... I have been looking at flights and thinking of going back down if we do receive a KO... I just want to see my baby and hold, kiss and cuddle him....I want to see how much he has grown in 3 1/2 months.... there is no way if we get a KO that I will be aqble to wait for P/U trip to see him again!!!!!

Will keep ya up tp date on what is going on!!!

PS. we are still waiting on a medical for him.... it's been almost 5 months since we have seen anything medically on him....which I really think is strange!!! I'm starting to wonder if they are trying to hide something medical!!!!! Because I know other families ARE getting medicals.
