Ok, we officially have Jacob's passport in hand and are ready to go to
Guatemala at any time. We are getting really frustrated to say the least
about this process. As you can tell by the "ticker" up top we have been in
this process now for 1 year, 2months, and 4 days. WAY TOO LONG!!! It is
PAST time to bring Madison home. I am almost positive that our case is our
attorney's oldest (most outstanding) case he has so why has he not given it priority? I understand that other families want their children home just as bad as we do but honestly is it really fair for a family who just started the
process in December to be out of PGN and waiting on a visa already? We
know that there are several families who started after we did and are already out of PGN. Yes, we do know that other cases have not had the paperwork issues we have and that those children might have been born in another area that is more adoption friendly when it comes to processing things timely but
still does it seem fair? I learned as a kid that life was not fair and it
never will be but does it have to be so unfair? We personally feel that
our attorney should be making our case a top priority for the simple fact that it has been in over a year since we started. One would think that it would be in the best interest of Madison to have the case completed before
much longer.
Wayne and I have tried our best to stay positive during this entire process and have tried not to make too many waves. We have let our adoption agency know how frustrated we are and that we question if our attorney is working on our case like he should. We get told that yes he is working on it and that
they understand our concerns, but I can't help but think that due to the
language barrier we are not always getting the entire truth. It is very
hard to have a confrontational conversation with someone when you don't speak the same language.
Our attorney told our adoption agency that he should have our interview sometime this week but I can't help but think that he just says that to keep
from having to answer any more questions. I can tell you that if we don't
have any answers by Monday at the latest (if it is possible with the holiday coming up our agency might be closed) we are wanting to try to find a way to have a conference call with our attorney and our coordinator.
I cannot stress enough on how much we need your prayers about the adoption at this time so please keep praying.
We also want to ask you to please pray for Jacob, he is still having reflux issues as well as "tummy trouble" which keeps him from eating what he should as well as sleeping
