1697.0 Miles To Guatemala -- Never Felt So Far

Pre-Phone Call:
There are a lot of questions on our minds right now, and quite frankly, the weight of everything seems oppressive at the moment.  This task of waiting is one unlike any other; it's nearly impossible to explain except that it feels like my entire heart is held is suspension right now.  I was talking to a dear friend last night and we were discussing how hard it is that the boys' room has been ready for months and months now.  We wanted to have everything ready for when they arrived, but now the room feels so so empty without their presence.  I miss them.  I miss them so much.  

Anyway, I'm going to call Teo in a little while and there are some questions that are weighing on us:
1.  Are the birth certificates done?
2.  How much longer will it be now?
3.  What's going to happen with the finances now that our agency has sent a bounced check?

Post-Phone Call
*Sigh*  It's a crying day.
Teo is pretty frustrated.  HCA has bounced THREE checks to him now and it's looking like we'll have to pay him directly and sue HCA to get our money back.  Teo said that the birth certificates still are in limbo -- we still have one, but not the other.  The municipality keeps saying, "it'll be ready, tomorrow."  Then tomorrow doesn't come.  He's going to call me back tomorrow and let me know if they get it.  He did say that we should be able to get the boys' passports in one day, and then begin the DNA process (which should be fast, since it's comes to the States for that).

Maybe something hopeful tomorrow.

Kelly,
I am SO sorry for you guys. I truly know how difficult it all is...the waiting and the uncertainty. I am praying for you and thinking of you every day.
