Update 8/23/06

Per conversation with our agency our case has been through the investigation portion of PGN and is now waiting to be signed off by the director of PGN. Once the director reviews our paperwork it may come out approved or it may come out as a previo. If it comes out as previo that means there is a correction that needs to be done on a document. If corrections need to be made they will be made immediately and resubmitted. Once our case is approved through the director of PGN it could take another month or so to get the birth certificate, passport, visa etc. I know that we do have additional paperwork once approved throught PGN since we will not be traveling to Guatemala and Bella will be escorted to Minnesota so the time lenth after we are out of PGN may vary. I will keep you posted of any additional information that we receive. We are hoping and praying that there are no errors and everything goes smoothly.
