Everyone Rejoices!
We learned today that three families from within our agency exited PGN at 7 weeks without any whammies/previos! This is very good news and hopefully a sign of good things to come!!
Dear Lord
I pray everyday and ask that you guide us through this difficult time right now as we wait for our file to exit PGN. I ask that you bless the reviewers in PGN and Sr. Barrios as he looks over everyone's files. I cannot imagine they have an easy job. We are frightened with the upcoming 12/31/07 deadline looming in the not so far distance, but we put all our faith in you and know that in your time, our file will be approved and little Gabriel will be coming home to his forever family.
I pray that everyone who reads distorted stories regarding adoptions in Guatemala realize that what they are reporting is not the truth. We are not bringing Gabriel home to do him harm; we did not steal him from his birthmother, we are not going to harvest his organs - we are going to give him a loving home; watch and guide him as he grows into a strong, Christian man. That is all we want for our son. He will learn one day that his birth mother made the ultimate sacrifice and I pray for her peace everyday.
I lift all those on the adoption journey in Guatemala up in prayer. If this journey wasn't for the weak of heart before, it is definitely much less right now. We lean on you Lord, for your guidance, peace and mercy. We acknowledge that everything good comes from you Lord and that you are watching over us - every step of the way.
In Jesus' name, I raise these prayers up to you, Oh Lord.

Today marks 6 weeks that we are in PGN. Most files begin to exit around week 8 or 9 - some before that mark, others after. Please pray our file exits PGN soon, so we can bring our sweet little boy home.
Thank you to all those who signed the petition yesterday. Please continue to sign it. Our voices need to be heard!

A Weekend Call to Action!
1. Phone Call. Since UNICEF has been protecting Director Veneman and not transferring calls to her or to her voicemail from the switchboard, then here may be a way to get through while they are closed.
Maybe this should be passed around the adoption community for the weekend while Unicef is closed?
The issue is that Unicef needs to clarify clearly is:- does UNICEF support the grandfathering of all cases in process as of the effective date of any new law in Guatemala (cases would be processed under the current adoption system)?; and- what do they mean by "due process" in their statement? Due process has a very different meaning than grandfathering.
To leave a message on the voice mail of the Executive Director (Veneman) you should:
1. dial the switchboard 212-326-7000
2. Listen to the recording, and choose 1 to use the "dial a name feature"
3. Type in 8363626# (which are the numbers for the letters Veneman)
4. You should hear a voice mail outgoing message for the office of the Executive Director.
5. Leave your message at the beep.
2. Fax. Ask the same questions, in your own words, by fax.
Unicef's fax number is 212 326 7758.

True stories are finally hitting the media!!
Please read the story below.
It's just another story that we hear on this side that the media DOES NOT PUBLISH until now! There are thousands of these stories that never get heard. Unfortunately if a grandfather clause is not enacted soon, many of these children will end up in foster care until they are 18. What a travesty and injustice this is.

More information on what to say (if you need guidance)
Below are some suggestions on what to say when you contact the US Congress and UNICEF to help you out. This can be a bit confusing, but the general idea is very straightforward and all they need to do is help pass a grandfather clause amendment to the Ortega Law. That will help all in process parents bring their much loved babies home.
***
What should you say or write to a member of the U.S. Congress? Speak from your heart and give them the following information:·
Inform them that you are calling regarding the Guatemala 5000.· Ask them to sign the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute (CCAI) sponsored letter to President Oscar Berger· Ask them to sign the Joint Council sponsored letter to UNICEF· Inform them that the Guatemalan government has announced that all intercountry adoptions with the United States will be suspended on January 1, 2008.· Inform them that President Berger's announcement also indicated that there will be no 'grandfathering' of adoptions already in process.· Inform them that if children referred to families are not allowed to be adopted, they will languish in institutions or foster care.· Ask that their office get involved and sign the sponsored letters to the President of Guatemala and UNICEF. These letters ask that all adoptions in-process as of January 1, 2008 be allowed to process to completion under the existing notorial laws.
What should you say or write to UNICEF?
Speak from your heart and give them the following information·
Inform them that you are calling regarding the Guatemala 5000.· Ask them to support the right’s of children and lend their considerable influence to ensuring that intercountry adoptions currently in-process be allowed to process to completion under the existing notorial laws.· Inform them that the Guatemalan government has announced that all adoptions with the U.S. will be suspended on January 1, 2008.· Inform them that President Berger’s announcement also indicated that there will be no ‘grandfathering’ of adoptions already in process.· Inform them that if children referred to families are not allowed to be adopted, they will languish in institutions or foster care.· Ask them again for their support of the Guatemala 5000 Initiative.
Can you explain the problem behind the pending crisis? Here is some additional information…
Guatemalan President Oscar Berger has announced plans to effectively stop all adoptions into the United States including those children who have already been referred to adoptive parents· Over 5,000 children have been referred· The birthparents for these children have already relinquished their parental rights. As a result, they currently have no family and the Berger suspension will result in these children having no prospect for a permanent, safe and loving family· The government of Guatemala currently does not have the finances or facilities to even provide housing for these 5,000 children· The Berger plan is a crisis waiting to happen.

More information on how you can help!
Thank you to everyone who has sent/fax/emailed letters on our behalf! We are incredibly grateful to you for doing this.
For those that did not know this - UNICEF is very much against international adoptions. Yes, you read the correctly. Four months ago they attempted to halt all adoptions in Guatemala and now they are refusing to back us on implementing a grandfather clause for all those who are in process. Needless to say, now we are going to begin contacting the corporations that give UNICEF money to let them know EXACTLY what is going on. More to follow on that once we have the contact information. Check back for details....

NEED YOUR HELP!
I am asking that all of you that read my blog (and I know there is a number of you) to please read the posts below very carefully and TAKE ACTION. We, and 5000 other in process families are in danger of not being able to bring our babies home if our adoption goes past 12/31/07. I have cut and paste (with her permission) a post by another fellow adoptive mom who clearly explains everything that is going on and what we can do:
Here is her post: READ THIS
This is her post about what action needs to be taken: READ THIS
We all want Gabriel to come home and we simply cannot face the reality that he will not. The issue at hand is that once his birthmother relinquishes her rights to her son and we have not fully become his parents by law, that means, YES, he has NO LEGAL PARENTS. What happens then you might ask? HE GOES INTO THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM. We cannot allow that to happen. It is simply not an option. Guatemala is too poor of a country to even be able to take care of 5000 babies in their foster care system. It is not a reality and what is so saddening is that here you have all these parents that are going through the grueling adoption process only to be told that after all their work, they will not be grandfathered in under the countries old laws. This is simply unacceptable and we need to have our voices heard.
Greg and I will die trying to get that little boy home. He is our son and belongs with us here.
Please do what you can. We implore this of you.
Thank you.

Happy 5 - Month - a - Birthday!!
Guess who turns five months old today??? I can't believe how fast time flies!! Next Tuesday will mark five months since our lives were changed forever and we received Gabriel's referral. What a day that was!
Wednesday, October 3, 2007
Hey everyone!
Sorry I haven't been blogging much in the last week or so, but there isn't much to share. Tomorrow will be four weeks that we have been submitted to PGN. So far, we have been very blessed and have not received any previos. We continue to pray that we stay the course as is. This is normally around the time where previos are prevalent.
Gabriel will be five months old on Friday! How time certainly flies by! And we should be receiving his doctor's update around the 8th or 9th! I can't wait to see how much weight he has gained!
Also, some friends of ours from our agency got out of PGN unscathed and previo free yesterday after being in for 9 weeks!! We are elated for them and hope to see many more PGN outs in the weeks to come!

Today marks two weeks that our file entered PGN. So far so good, but we know of two other families that received previos. Thankfully they have been fixed and resubmitted back into PGN. We continue to pray for no whammies!
Thank you for all your prayers! We should be receiving social pictures soon of our little guy. Can't wait to see them!

Gabriel went to the doctor - September visit
Gabriel went to the doctor today and here is the report we received. As you can imagine, seeing his pictures make it very bittersweet for us. It is extremely difficult to watch your son grow in pictures. But we hold on to the notion that he will be home with us forever - very soon.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi!
I do hope you are doing fine. This morning I had the opportunity to evaluate little Gabriel. He has now reached 4 months of age and has been doing well in the time since he was seen for the last time here in my office. He continues to be a very bright little boy who shows interest in all that goes on around him will turn to sound and to the different tones of voices he hears. He is also quite vocal himself and plays with the sounds he can produce, varying the tone and producing short bouts of laugh and vocalizes high feeling of pleasure.
He now shows better control of his neck muscles and will keep the head pretty straight in the midline when pulled to the sitting position. Also when on his stomach he is able to lift the head clear from the bed. Will attempt to reach out and grab whatever is nearby to put into his mouth. I am told that he takes well his formula and is also receiving his ordered vitamin supplement. Upon evaluation today I found this little one in good health with no obvious physical or neurological abnormalities, his weight is 12 lbs5 oz, length of 59.1 cms and head circumference of 39.2 cms. Please find some pictures attached.
Best Regards
Dr. M.

Baby, We Are In PGN!!!!
Today we received an update that our file was submitted to PGN on Thursday, September 6th!!!! This is *awesome* news! Now we must pray that we get OUT in 8 weeks or less. Even nine weeks would be fine. With all that is going on in Guatemala, we continue to pray that we are able to bring Gabriel home by Christmas. You might hear of a lot of turmoil with the upcoming elections and possible implementation of the Hague Treaty, but we put our faith in God and know that He will not let us down. Greg and I wait to receive updates on all Guatemala situations from our agency because they have our best interest in mind and a lot of information you hear out there only suits to scare you. If you are the praying kind, we ask for your prayers during our stay in PGN. This is truly the last hurdle before we can bring little G home.
We have been told to expect a previo during our stay in PGN. A previo is when a reviewer requests more information or doesn't approve of a particular document and wants a do-over. During this time, you are kicked out from PGN while you wait for the file/document to be rectified. This basically adds more time onto your stay at PGN. So we pray for a previo-free stay in PGN. We also call them whammies. So no whammy, no whammy, no whammy!
Thank you to all our blog readers. We greatly appreciate you all keeping us in your thoughts and prayers. I truly believe deep in my heart that all our prayers will bring little Gabriel home.
