Short update

This is just a short update. I met with the facilitator this morning. She showed me the sealed envelope from Central Records that was addressed to the local records office where L. was born. She said she got them to release the record early.

So the plan is for her to go to San Juan Sacatepequez (where L was born) early Monday morning to get the new birth certificate. She promised to get an extra copy for us.

Monday afternoon around 2 or 2:30 she will pick me and L up to go get L's new passport. Then Tuesday we can submit our documents to the U.S. Embassy for processing.

If, and that is a big if, this all happens, we might have our appointment for L's visa to travel to the U.S. as early as mid May? Not really sure. Trying to figure out timelines but this internet connection is so slow I can't load my e-mail with those estimates on it.

We also talked about not being in contact with the foster family any more while I am here. I agreed to that. I said I would send a note, etc. to the foster family once we are home. I
will probably send once we have our visa appointment scheduled.

Look for my "life with L" update tonight.
