Well, I’m as nervous as a jitter bug but as happy as a clam… about the trip to meet and bring Savanna home, that is.
I leave 2/22 at 10a.m. and arrive in Guat at 8:20 p.m. I have a two hour lay over in TX. I am looking forward to meeting Savanna and her foster [...]

I just received the call (on Valentine’s Day) that PINK was submitted yesterday afternoon. I will find out tomorrow afternoon when I travel. This time I was so happy that I cried.

Stacy and [...]

I wish I had something happy to report. I heard today that the attorney was not able to submit for PINK on 2/6, or all of last week, because of U.S. Embassy problems. The lines are too long. I have NO idea how much longer it will take before I get PINK. I was assured that the attorney was [...]

Well, the process is movin’ along… at a snail’s pace. The attorney picked up the new birth certificate today (2/2/06). It took 11 days to get the new BC. The attorney will submit for “PINK” on Monday, 2/6, but I’ll not find out about my Embassy appointment until 2/9, my dear Savanna’s 6 month birthday. So, it seems [...]

Picture me dancing and shouting the following: Hip hip hooray! Woo Hooooo! Yippeeee! Glory hallelujah! Yay baby, yay baby, yay baby! It doesn’t get any better than this! I’ve been waiting for THIS day for MONTHS! So completely overjoyed that I’m about to piss on myself.
Okay, details…. my Sister, Karen, and I will fly to Guatemala on [...]

I found out today that Savanna’s foster mother’s name is Aura Marina. I’ve have been thinking, thinking, and thinking about all the questions I would like to ask her. Ready? Here goes…
Living Environment
How old was Savanna when she came to live with you? Were there other children in the home with her? If so, what games did [...]
