Reagan just got out of PGN today!! PGN is the Guatemalan court which approves or denies the adoption. This is the final step in the process on the Guatemalan side. Now, she only has to get a new birth certificate with her new parents' names on it and a visa to travel HOME! The U.S. Embassy provides this. We have all prayed to have Reagan home by her 1st birthday-- August 15. Thank you Lord for uniting her with her family. WOOHOO!!Look out- I'm comin' home!
In other news, I heard from our facilitator today that Gabriella apparently was "missing" us over the weekend. Mariela said she was better now. It's pitiful, but there is some relief that she was aware of us and grieved our absence. Even so, we don't want our girl to be sad, so we're glad to hear that she's feeling better and settling into her routine again. Don't worry sweet pea. We'll be back soon.
Also, I spent the day with some amazing people. I met Melissa last fall when she tracked me down through a forum. We had lunch a couple of times and then she, her husband and her son were off to bring home their beautiful baby girl from Vietnam. Now that the dust has settled at their house and I'm less neurotic, we finally got together. I met Maddox and Olivia this morning and all three of them accompanied me to Springfield to get a document re-verified. We had a great time. I so enjoyed hearing about the journey to M and O and getting to know them better. How lucky to have new friends who understand the journey of adoption right here at home. Thank goodness for you guys. We'll play again soon!

Fantastic news for Reagan and family. I hope they all know we share their joy.
This makes it seem more real and gives us hope that God will answer our prayers to bring Gabi home.
Love you all,

We thank God for your friendship, too Amanda! M and O just loved you! Congratulations on Reagan's news! Tell Kristen she has another family in IL rooting for them! Look forward to our next play date together :)
