After almost 120 days or so - almost 4 months - we have our birth certificate. We have applied for her passport and should have that tomorrow. I can hardly believe we are about 3-4 weeks from our Visa appointment. She still cannot come home, but hopefully tomorrow we will have news about some options from the parents meeting in Washington D.C.
I am heading out of El Paso tomorrow to go back home to be with my family after the loss of our grandmother - I miss that little spitfire (thank you kathy for calling her that - perfectly suited). I am getting back to drawing here, but wanted you to know that we are hanging in there and our 4 month battle is over. I am days away from not having to get one more piece of paper from the Guatemalan government, besides how to send all of our Semillas children home.....
but, that is a chore for another day. God Bless my grandmother - I miss her dearly!!!!

I know this may be a little short notice, but I'm traveling to Guatemala in two weeks if you need something brought down for your sweet girl!! I'll be staying in Panajachel and Antigua. Not in the city but I;m sure I can arrange for it to be dropped off there if need be!!
Praying for all of you guys to be able to bring those babies home soon!!
