Dominic's Homecoming Countdown

We have jumped through another hoop! This afternoon, I received a BEAUTIFUL e-mail message from the US Embassy in Guatemala. It informed us that our case officially had preapproval. I was shocked; I actually cried a little bit! I was hoping and hoping and hoping that we would receive preapproval by Christmas. It has been taking most people around 45 business days because of embassy back-ups. Well, we received our preapproval in a RECORD time of 19 business days! Honestly, I'm shocked!
You are probably wondering what this means. You might even think that may have given us a more definite answer regarding the date of Dominic's homecoming. Well, sad to say . . . we don't really know much more about that. I think I have become a Guatemalan-Adoption-Guru over the past several months and the process makes sense to me. It doesn't make much sense to anyone else. Frank doesn't even really get it, but I try to keep him up-to-date.
For those of you who WANT to make some sense out of this, check out http://www.guatefam.org/process.htm. Go to the RELINQUISHMENT: THE BASIC STEPS section. I would say we are probably around Step 13. We still need to get out of Family Court and into PGN.
Please continue to keep us in your thoughts . . . today's news was big but we still need some more big things to happen :)
