Yes, the new adoption law (Ortega Law) was passed today in a special session of the Guatemala Congress. What does this mean for Isabella? We're not sure yet. One confusing part is that we must be registered with the non-existent Central Authority by Jan. 30th in order to proceed under the current laws.
We are still waiting for PA, by the way. Our Congressman's office has sent three inquiries, and today I called the National Visa Center and the US State Dept Visa Center...still no PA... No one will help us).
Are you out there, Lord??
Tuesday

Big Kahuna and I have known each other since we were kids and have been married for almost 15 years. We are passionate about our family, travel and serving God. We love helping people and bringing them hope. We laugh ourselves to tears watching classic episodes of Saturday Night Live and The Office. Summer is our favorite season, and we live for warm evenings playing with the kids on the beach.
Big Surf is 14 years old. He's a voracious reader, focused, and spends hours building things. He is our resident techie and is also learning to play the violin. He loves to spend his free time playing baseball, flag football, or out on the trails by the house building his clubhouse.
Goofy Foot is ten years old. He devours his free reading books like there is no tomorrow. He is also the family comedian. If you see him, ask him to tell you a joke! He is tender-hearted, social and compliant. When he is not outside riding his bike, you'll find him drawing or writing a funny book.
Beach Bunny is three years old. She is our sunshine! She joined our family through the unbelievable gift of adoption. Beach Bunny loves to snuggle with us and carefully takes care of her baby dolls. She is super silly and must say hi to everyone! One word that describes her is "joy".

I am so sorry that you are not getting any help with the PA :( I could just cry about all of this - no PA for you, passage of a lousy law, no PA for us. Satan is having a field day with me today! Did you read the posts about putting "Day XX" in the subject line of your email to the USE? . . . Maybe that will help?? Tomorrow is a new day for PAs, and I am praying for yours!!
HE is, He is, He is! THat elusive PA will be here. I promise. We're on triple duty as prayer warriors. He hears us, just not in our time. It seems God is never on my schedule, but it is always perfect. In the meantime, enjoy those beautiful boys of yours. They are further proof of God's work in your life.

We are praying with you, and I know that God is there and listening. He may not always give us the answer we want when we want it, but I have faith you will get your answer soon! I'll pray for your PA again tonight!
Oh Stacy, I am so sorry!! I am praying like crazy for you to get PA!! Jesus, please bring Stacy that PA so soon! And, please get her into and out of PGN very soon!
It is impossible to understand God's perfect timing. We just have to believe and trust that His ways are perfect! I know we miss our baby girls so much! Hang in there!
Did you call the DOS? I posted info about this on Guatadopt a few weeks ago. Call Patricia Hickey at DOS--she will call Guatemala and find out what is going on.
