Today we were notified by our adoption agency that our case has been removed from the PGN court because an error was not fixed properly. The error will take atleast two months to fix and nothing can be done in the meantime on our adoption. The agency and Adoption Supervisors are uncertain at this time as to when the adoption will be finalized and this significant delay means that Joey will probably not be home for his first birthday. To say that John and I are disappointed would be the understatement of the century and we are exhausted from dealing with this process. We have verbalized our concerns and frustrations with both our agency and attorney in Guatemala. Both agree that this is an unfortunate situation but say that there is little that can be done. We have asked the Adoption Superviors that we hired back in January to step in (this will inturn infuriate our attorney) to see if they will be able to offer any legal solutions. Unfortunately Guatemala is essentially shut down for the next two weeks because of the Easter Holiday and Holy Week.
We have asked the agency if they will authorize two more visit trips, one for May/June and the other to celebrate his first birthday should it be necessary, although we are hesitant to go and remove him for a few days from the only people he knows. He has already been through so much.
We really need all of your prayers that this situation will be fixed quickly and that we will have Joey home in time for his birthday. Every delay is critical not only for us but more so for him! Poor Sarah keeps asking us about her brother and if he is ever coming home and to be perfectly honest I do not know the answer anymore.
Take Care and please keep us in your prayers,
Lee Anne and John

Lee Anne, You all are in my prayers daily. I won't even say the words "I understand", because honestly this unimaginable to me. The adoption journey is filled with some much heartache and uncertainity...it seems like you get through one obstacle, only to be faced with yet another one. It is an emotional rollercoaster and so unfair. I know you all have been going through this process for so long now. I wish I had something insightful to say or do...but just know I'm always here to listen.
