Some New Pictures

Not what I wanted... But I suppose it is better than nothing...........

On A Lighter Note.............

I bought myself a new "toy" yesterday.... A Sandisk Cruzer Micro 2.0GB USB Flash Drive. Staples had them on sale this week for 50% off, so it was under $50.00. Why did I purchase this? Just because : ) No.. really.. I got it because a friend of mine recently lost everything on her hard drive.. now most of what I have is replaceable.. no big deal.. but then there are the pictures.. and since I am no longer using my old point & shoot 35mm camera (sold it at a yard sale actually) and I am only using my digital cameras... All of my pictures are stored in my computer.... I don't want to lose them.. So I have copied them all onto the flash drive.
(gee, I sure hope i don't lose it.. it's so small) Anyway.. I realized also posted to my blog alot to complain about the waiting back in January. I posted twice on 1/19 and then again on 1/25... then got the referral (what I was waiting for) on 1/26. Call me superstitious... or just plain crazy, but it can't hurt to try : )

Here are some of Molly's "7 month" pictures.......


GOTTA LOVE THAT SMILE!!!!!!!!

It's Been A While....................

I know... I know, I haven't posted in ages... almost three months actually. Well, not much has been happening... So I just didn't have much to write about. I didn't even post new Molly pics when I got them, mostly because after holding her the new pictures are just not as exciting anymore... And the ones I took when I was with her are WAY better.
(Here is one of her "6 month" pictures)

Molly turned 8 months old yesterday, When I got my referral (231 days ago, 1/26/06) I never ever imagined that come September I wouldn't have her home with me.. I beleive that my prediction at that time was somewhere between late June and mid July... Then there were some unforseen delays due to the birthmother beeing born in Honduras.. But even then I was thinking it would be late August at the latest ... Now here we are in the middle of September and I am only hoping that I have her home mid to late October.

At least I am in the last of the major steps in the process. It is known as PGN, and there is no rhyme or reason to it as far as most people can tell. I have been "in" the PGN step for 8 weeks as of yesterday, the hardest part about is is that I know I could get "out" at anytime.. so every day I wake up & think this could be the day.. & every day consists of waiting, checking email (way too often) and then the realization that today is not the day. PGN is kinda hard to explain... someone in a group that I am in explained it well.. so I wil post the explination to make it easier for those who have no idea what I am referring to:
"PGN stands for Procuradoria General de la Nacion. It's a Governmental body that officially reviews your case at the end of the adoption process. It's the equivelanet to our Attorney General's office. The length of time a case stays in PGN can vary greatly. Some families have been getting out in 3 to 6 weeks , while others are still waiting after 2 to 4 months. It's possible to get a previo (what we call a "kickout" or "KO") from PGN. It's when PGN finds something they don't like.....a mispelled word, illegible document, missing document, etc...... and they temporarily remove your case from PGN until the problem is fixed. Once you get OUT of PGN, you are very close to the end! "
As far as I know I have had no Previo's.... So I really should be getting out one of these days : )
