One small step

Some happiness happening here now -- we just got a notification of preliminary INS approval for our adoption ! (More technically, form I-797C which apparently has replaced form I-171H :-)

So in adoption lingo we are now "paper ready" and are waiting for a referral from Guatemala.

It's a long road still ahead and things can always go wrong, but after a mountain of paperwork this feels good.

I can't get too specific about things until something really happens (you do need to protect the privacy of your new child, and their birthmother -- there are details of their life that the child should be able to tell only if and when they want to).

But wish us luck!
