VISITING NORA DAY 7

WOW, were did the week go!!!

We had another great night and a great day. Nora is laughing, cooing, and squealing even louder. She loves taking walks, going outside, she loves to look at trees, and being around people. She is going to love Gammer and Gaffer place more than ours in Rockwall.......she loves trees. She is a very happy baby. Pam and I are very fortunate to be given this precious gift from God. She has really gotten very comfortable with Pam and I. Unfortunately we leave tomorrow and I pray that our time away from her is very short. We heard from the adoption agency that our official DNA paperwork for Nora and her birth Mom will be submitted to the US Embassy for verification which should take about two weeks. Then it will be sent to the Guatemala government for the final approval process. Since we have been down here, we have heard anywhere from 3 days to 6 weeks from the adoptive parents who are here for this process. But, the adoption agency keeps saying 1 - 4 months. Pam and I meet the adoption agency and the foster mother in the hotel lobby at 9:00 a.m.. Our flight leaves Guatemala at 12:30 p.m.. I have included some pictures from today. This will probably be our last blog posting until we get home.

This is a picture of Maria who is an attendant in the main lounge area. We got to know her very well. She has a brother who lives in Plano (Dallas area);
