March Medical update

Hi all, We received an email yesterday updating us on Joey's height, weight and head circ. He now weighs 19.8lbs, is 70cm and has a head circ. of 44cm. He is growing very well and on US growth charts plots in about the 75%.

We were also told that our agency is going to allow a visit trip in June and another one in August to celebrate his birthday! I never ever thought that we would be having a first birth day party at the Marriot in Guatemala City but there is nothing that we can do about it and I am certainly NOT going to miss that day. We have been informed by the Adoption Supervisors that our attorney has submitted the cedula (a kind of government ID card, that was not signed) to the civil registrars office so that they can gather all of the documents required to then submit back to the courts. Once the courts has reviewed all of the documents they will court order a signature. Seems so ridiculous to me!! But, we cannot dwell on these things that are completely out of our control...it would make us nuts. Hopefully this process will be completed in under the two month timeline that we were quoted. As it stands now we are planning to visit the weekend of June 15th for three days and then will go for about a week in August.

Keep us in your prayers.
Thanks for the support,
Lee Anne

WOW! Big healthy boy! :) I can't wait until you get the updated pics for the month too. Your post is very true, and I should take your advice as you posted...we shouldn't dwell on things we cannot control. Very good advice! :) I'm so happy you all will be able to go on two more visit trips. I know you can't wait. My prayers are with you all.

Can't wait to see new pics either. Sending all my positive thoughts your way that the cedula issue is cleared up quickly.
