Welcome to our online adoption journal. We will be using this to update our friends and family on our adoption.
We just got an email from Sue that said that DNA was done on 7/12. Wow, it took a long time for that to happen. It has been over a month since it was paid for, but who knows how far away the birthmother lives. It may have been a lot of logistical coordination to get her to Guatemala City. Now we just have to wait for the results or basically a confirmation stating that it was a match.
We also found out that our case is entering Family Court. At this stage a social worker interviews the birth mother, the foster mother, and reviews our homestudy before it gets the courts "stamp" of approval. Most likely, the birthmother interview will take place on the same day that DNA is drawn. Let's hope so at least.
