Susanna and ADA,

Thank you so much, for once again stepping in to help the children of Guatemala waiting for their "forever families" and for we parents who are trying to bring them home. You are a God-send!

We will continue to pray -
Connie

Susanna, Thank you so, so much. Having spent the last six months in PGN, this really means a lot to me reading this. Thanks for your efforts and hard work.

Thank you Susana and the ADA!!!!THis is the most hope I've had in the last month.

Thanks so much for the information. We are going on 8 months in PGN with no sign of getting out without help!

Susanna

I can not express my gratitude enough for the action you and your orgainization have taken time and time again! I have been in PGN for 8 weeks and it is by no means the longest stay, it feels like a lifetime for me, missing my little guy grow up!!!! Do you recommned we contact our agencies in order to get in touch with the lawyers to help to take action?

Thank you again,

Stacy

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!I feel like I have hope. I have supposedly been in PGN for 15 weeks with no news. Our case has had no problems until this long wait in PGN. It seems that he will do the right thing now and I hope all the cases are released. Please continue the fight for us and I will definately attempt to have my Attorney contact you.

We are so greatful to you Susan, for the work you are doing. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Although we are not in PGN yet, we are hoping that this will also end our long wait(4 1/2 months)for DNA authorization. Your involvement has been the answer to our many prayers and let's hope and pray everything starts moving quickly and children are united with their forever families very soon. We will do whatever we can to support this. I have already contacted our agency and asked them to contact our attorney. I'm waiting for a reply from our agency rep. Thank you once again.

Thank you so much. I am so appreciative of what you have done (and do everyday!) for the children of Guatemala and the waiting families. My sense of hope has been restored!!

I urge EVERYONE to contact your attorney and/or agency to take action. Together we can raise awareness and get this problem solved. I have no idea who my attorney is, but I am calling my agency this moment to find out.

Susan, you have just given SO many of us hope that we will bring our babies home soon.

Jamie

Thank you!!!!

I have been stuck in PGN investigations since November 2005!!

I pray this will open up the flood gates!!

I feel like God has sent an angel in Susana Lucara and her organization to give a glimmer of hope to those of us that fell desperate. I feel like our prayers are beginning to be answered. God Bless YOU!!! Gratefully, Cami

Dear Susana and ADA,

YOU ROCK!!!

Kelly M

Gracias, Susana! This is the best news we have had since 14 weeks ago when we entered PGN. We've also contacted our agency to let them know we support bringing criminal charges.

This is wonderful news. We are not yet in PGN, in fact just today received word we have pre-approval from Family Court(but aren't clear what that means). Since reading all the news here about cases being stalled for months in PGN, I have felt great empathy for the waiting families, and dread for our family as we wait to enter PGN. Thank you so much, Susan, for your efforts, and for taking this action on our behalf.

Susana

You are an answer to prayer!

Thank you

Thank you, thank you, thank you. We are almost in Family Court and have a little time before we enter PGN but we want to thank you so very much for you help. Because of you and people like you, hopefully by the time our turn comes to enter and exit PGN, it will be quick and we will have our beautiful son home with us forever. Thank you again. God bless you!

Thank you doesn't seem enough...
I hope that Barrios actually follows through and that these actions from the ADA aren't for naught.
I hope that there is news soon from the many of our cases that have been sitting idle for so long. For me, as I looked at the calendar this morning, it occurred to me that I have spent an entire season waiting for the PGN to act on our case.
Thank you again and as always, this information is invaluable to the Guatemalan adoption community.
Diane

Yeah, I am so excited for all who have been waiting for months to get out. I sure hope something is done to him, this is so unfare to the babies. I pray for you all to get out soooooon. I am waiting on DNA, and I hope I dont have to wait for months in PGN. Extra Prayers for everyone.

Susana,
Thank you for the update and your strong efforts! Kelly or Susana, can you remind us of how we can make donations to the ADA? I can't think of a better time to send a check.
Kathleen

Thank You! I would love to join this action. But I doubt my attorney or adoption staff will jump on board. I will try to contact everyone I can--maybe one of them will. Thanks again.

Gracias, Susana for all your efforts in behalf of the children of Guatemala!!

Que Dios le bendice!

Obviously this is great news for all. Thank you Thank you Susana for all of your efforts. You have thrown all of us and our waiting children a lifeline! I hate to be the bad guy here but what happens when charges are filed against the Director? Will he have to step down right away? Will this mean that there will be another long wait for a new Director? Won't this cause even more delays? Again, sorry for being so negative but we all remember what happened the last time there was a change in the Director's post.

Michele

There are no words to describe just how very grateful I am to Susana and her organization. With you, we have tremendous hope for the beautiful children of Guatemala and their loving adoptive parents longing to bring them home. You are a blessing!

Thanks to you, Susana, and to the ADA for your tireless efforts that will help to bring our children home!

I love to go onto a forum for Guatamalan adoptions and today we had FOUR outs in a couple of hours!!! Is that great or what! It's more than we've had in weeks. I just pray that they are going to open the floodgates and we are going to get some babies home to their families where they belong!!!

Susana,

I can not thank you enough, we have been in the PGN since April 27 and we came out final today. We will get to go pick up our son real soon.My agent had two cases come out final today and thank you and god, we were one of them. I will continue to pray for all of you waiting to bring your babies home.

It seems there has been an exceptional amount of "outs" today from PGN in comparison to what we have experienced in the recent past. I pray that we will also see some investigation releases. We have been in PGN since December and PGN investigation since around March.
I am thanking God for you, your work, and your concern for both the children and adopting families of children of Guatemala.
Please continue to fight for the release of these little (and not so little) ones.
We really would love to have our little girl home. She just turned 1. We miss her.
Jennifer

Thank you so much!!!!! As a mother fostering her baby in Guatemala, unable to join my family in the states, this is the only news that has given me hope that our family will be reunited soon. My husband is waiting anxiously for his wife and daughter to return home and without this news we would still feel somewhat hopeless. We cannot tell you how much this news means to us! We are planning on contacting our lawyer immediately.

BRAVO Susanna! Thank you for caring for these children who need to be with thier forever families!

We received our call from our agency on June 13th and we are out of PGN (submitted on March 13th). The long wait was difficult but we now know that we will be united with our little boy.

I am thankful for all of the information posted on the website!

Margo

Thank you for giving me hope. I am now in the twentieth month with my second Guatemalan adoption. I have been in PGN since January 17, 2006. I never imagined it would take so long to bring my child home. At least now I have hope that there is movement with cases. Thank you for all your efforts on behalf of the children. I have contacted my agency and asked that my attorney in Guatemala join you in this initiative.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Toni--
I want to foster in Guatemala also. I have a million questions for you! I hope we can exchange e-mails soon. Please let me know if you are open to answering a million quesiotns!!

Susan--You are a saint! Thank you for all that you do.

Jamie

There is a light at the end of the tunnel. We got the call today that we are out of PGN. We went in the first time on March 27th without PA and back in with it on April 21st. So a long 54 days later we are OUT!

I really do not think THANK YOU is even enough. The hard work and effort is wonderful! We have been in PGN since March and it is heart wrenching I pray that all your hard work pays off and we all get to bring our little ones home soon!

Kristi- I really don't post often but wanted to say congtats to you and your family for getting out of the pgn!!!!!!! I can't imagine how happy you are! I can think back to that day when we were out and words can't express how happy we were! It moves me to tears thinking about it. We got our son when he was 7months old and he just turned 3 in MAy. He is the joy of our life I can't imagine life with oput him. Is this your first? Are you getting a girl or boy? Good luck to you and I hope everything goes smoothly for you from here on out. I know your child will bring you so much joy. Appreciate every moment you have with him or her because time goes so fast. Again I know I don't know you but am so happy for you. Carrie

Does anybody know at what rate cases are exiting PGN now? Is the director really responding? I see these exits on here, which is encouraging, but hear nothing from my agency about my status or if they are seeing a significant increase lately. Claire

"This past week, Barrios went to Bolivia and came back at the end of the week. This morning we were told he started signing off all files presented before May 15th."

Does this mean... All files sumitted to PGN or files just presented to him? We were notified by our agency that we were IN PGN on 5/15/06. UGH!!! What does this mean for us!
Marlene

Hi - I have been reading this site almost daily for many months, but this is the first time I have written in. We went in to PGN March 12th, and just heard yesterday that we are out! To all of you still waiting, hang in there!

Sounds like things might finally be moving along. This website it awesome. Everyone seems to get more information on here in just one day than what some of us receive from our agency. I've been with mine for about 20 months I've been working with them. I've been in PGN since March 10th!!!! This has got to end! Thanks again to all of you who are running and working on this website. It's a life saver. Pam

Hi, everyone. Just wanted to say I am so glad to hear that PGN is moving and that cases really are coming out! We came out last Monday, and will be going to get our little angel at the end of the month:-) To those who aren't out yet, hopefully you will be soon. Keep your chins up, hard as that may be.

Thanks for this great website. Your work is greatly appreciated and we have great joy in seeing others write that they are getting out of PGN - YEAH! We have been in process for 17 months and in PGN since December 2005. We pray that others will continue to follow!

Thanks Carrie!! Believe me I was crying too. This is our second child, we are adopting Nicole who will be 5 months on June 23. We also have a 4 year old bio son who is anxiously awaiting his baby sister. Thanks again!

How strange is it that after only 2 exciting days of movement, we have gone 2 more without any outs?
Now what's happening?

We received news on Friday that we are out of PGN. We have been in since Dec. 2005. ( Teresa, I pray that you receive word soon/tomorrow.) Our little boy is 10 1/2 months old.
Thank you Kelly for this site.

Another out. What are the timelines people are seeing from PGN to travel dates? Claire

Lisa,
We are so happy for you - thanks for the encouraging words - we keep praying!!

Bringing criminal charges against the PGN sounds like it would not only cause a huge hassle and delay adoptions further but cause political strife that may end adoptions with Guatemala. And ruin the chances of any pending adoptions to be completed. So by speaking out for the current victims, you are creating many more victims. Is this what you anticipate happening?

The only reason that Guatemala is still open today is because legal action was taken against those who tried to circumvent the constitution of Guatemala. If it had not been for this action, adoptions would be effectively closed today...ie: the majority of the adopting parents reading this site, would NOT be adopting a child from Guatemala.

So, lets say nobody does anything....well, then don't count on these children ever coming home. The reality is that there is ALREADY a political tug-of-war down there or more like a game of chicken. "Bad relations" exist because adoptions are open.

Inaction, in my opinion, is about as effective as calling your agency and saying "never mind!".

Yes, Kelly! Inaction is NO EXCUSE to allow PGN to continue the deceptive practices. We all must do SOMETHING. We cannot sit back and just wait. We cannot be victims. Of course, there is no need to be rude or hateful about it, but we must take action--all if us. There is power in numbers. Inaction on our parts will NOT bring our children home. I agree with you, Kelly. We must keep pushing forward--INACTION is a travesty to our waiting babies in Guatemala.

We must do something. I completely agree. Inaction wont get us nowhere.

We are new to the site and think is great. We´re in the middle of our adoption and thougth we were in PGN for months. Unfortunally, we found out about 2 weeks ago that we´re not. The Attorney lost a paper from our dossier and hadn´t told the agency.

We had to hire a supervisor in Guatemala to find this out. Thank God, we moved to PGN now and will wait untill these guys decide to move with cases.

The best luck to all of you.
If you need any information about our case let us know.
God bless
The Lorusos.

"This morning we were told he started signing off all files presented before May 15th. We assume that he is doing so, to prevent us from filing an Amparo (a legal resource where there is no other legal remedy) against him, for failing to give an opinion in more than a month." And so? What is going on with this?

Sherry--Can you tell us more about hiring a supervisor in Guatemala? How do you contact one? Approximate costs, timeline, etc.

Anymore outs? After the ADA (Susan L.) met with the PGN Director this seemed to pick up, but just for a few days. Any news? What's next?

Hi
I was wondering if Kelly or Susanna knows what in the heck is going on with PGN now? There were a few exits for a few days and now it has gone back to a trickle again - did Barrios sign off on just a few in order to quiet everyone down, or does he not care if there will be criminal charges filed against him in order to satisfy his political agenda?
Also if anyone has made any progress regarding contacting the attorney in order to join in the procecution of Barrios - let me know I have mentioned it to my agency twice and was ignored!

Hi everyone,
This sight is very insightful and I visit it several times a day, can any one tell me where everyone is getting to information on the amount of cases comiing out of Pgn... there seem to be another web sight that is postings the amounts of outs and I would be interested in visiting that sight as well.

I was told today that my case made it into PGN today and this was very exciting for us but we where also told that the wait can be as short as 4 weeks or as long as 4-6 months. I believe in everything my agency says but i would love to hear of other cases coming in and out of PGN and time lines.. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE and any one whom may have a few PRAYER to spare send them our way and I will continue to pray for the babies waiting for there "FOREVER HOMES" God Bless

And Kelly your doing such a great job you've made my wait a little less long thank you!

I really don't understand what is happening with PGN now. What happens when he signs off on the files that were sitting on his desk? Surely there are more files making their way to his office every day. Is he going to ignore those files? While my file went in on 04/17 it was kicked out on 05/29 and resubmitted on 06/14 so I am sure that I won't benefit from this latest threat against the director but I would like to see other families at least benefit and there seems like there was a little trickle of cases last week and almost none this week.
Michele

There has been several mentions of hiring a Supervisor in Guatemala. Does anyone have an email address or other contact information so that we can do that? Referral 7/28, PGN 3/10, she's 11 months old now and still waiting..... 15 weeks in PGN!!! Contact the Congressional Coalition on Adoptions
(703)288-6723. Contact your Senators, contact anyone who will listen. Good luck to all of you.

Jamie.
I dont know if I can post my adress. I dont know all the rules of the site so I prefer not to put all the info I have on Adoption Supervisor.
You can contact me though (sherryloruso@yahoo.com).
Bye
Sherry

What is going on now? Weeks ago they said that criminal charges were filed against Barrios, the head of PGN. He supposidly signed off on some cases but it seems like we're back at a stand still. Why isn't someone doing something about this? This is truely criminal what he's doing to these children and the adopting families. Why isn't our government involved, why aren't all of the attorneys banding together to get him out of office, why aren't they getting these children out of PGN?

Shelly,

It has only been two (2) weeks since the attorneys met wtih Barrios, and discussed criminal charges. I have been keeping track of the families receiving final approvals from PGN since the meeting on the 12th. On this site alone, there have been at least eighteen (18) outs. In addition to those eighteen, my agency has at least four (4) more outs, and I've found several more on other forums/chats. These outs continued consistantly in to the second week.

I completely understand your frustration, and these past two weeks have seemed very long, when every time the phone rings, you pray that it's "THE CALL" we've all been waiting on. Our daughter is stuck in PGN, as well.

But... PGN is still releasing cases. It may be at a snails pace, but he does seem to be signing out cases, as he agreed to do. Although, I also would love to see the rapid results, if they can be obtained through making threats and demands. But... if they remove him from office, what kind of delay will we see then?? The delay due to the Hague Convention in 2003, was far worse than we're seeing now. Keep in mind, this is not the US Government. What seems to be an obvious answer for us here in the US does not necessarily work in Guatemala.

God's timing does not always fit our agendas, but please try to remind yourself that He does not only watch over one country, He is watching over all countries.

"When you bring these beautiful babies home, this time will seem minimal." This statement I have read over and over again written by parents who have previously adopted through Guatemala. Remind yourself, that you will have this baby for the rest of your life!

Prayers be with you, your family and all the waiting families and children,
Cheri F.

Hi Cheri,

I have a question. What about the families that had files that were submitted after the 15th of May. My daughters file was submitted on the 18th of May, do we have any status as to the update of were he is with files. What about the files submited after the 15th of May.

Jo Ann

THIS GOES OUT TO EVERYONE.
WE MUST STOP AND REMEMBER, GOD HAS MUCH MORE POWER THAT BARRIOS EVER THOUGHT OF HAVING. LET'S HAVE FAITH AND START PRAYING TOGETHER AND WE WILL SEE HOW GOD'S POWER WILL BEGIN TO WORK.

IN HIS NAME.
MARISSA

Joann,

From everything I have read the May 15th date is really useless. I assume that he used the date in refererence to the cases that have been stuck in PGN for quite some time now (ie: since last year). I've been tracking the outs on several sites, and several outs were were submitted just after May 15th, as yours was. Do you have a receipt for your PGN submission. If not, you might want to ask your agency to supply you with one, just to settle your mind a bit.

I entered PGN originally on April 7th. We were kicked out on May 3rd with no PA and one additional form they were requiring from us that stated that we were aware of a medical condition she had received treatment for, and that we would continue to have her tested once home. We did not re-enter PGN until June 8th. So... my point is that we are in the same boat as you. I couldn't decide which date PGN would honor in relationship to the May 15th statement.

Several references I've been tracking are stating that the wait time for PGN submissions now is 4-6 weeks from the time you were submitted OR from the time your previos are corrected. Even Adoption Supervisors has made this statment within the last two days. So... I go by my later date of June 8th to count the weeks.

If you were truely submitted to PGN on May 18th, then you're in your sixth week. Maybe your call will come in the next few days, and the 4-6 weeks will stand true.

We must keep in mind that every case is unique in itself, and the averages may not apply. I will pray for you and your family to get "the call" that you are released from PGN and your daughter comes home very soon, and I hope to see a post by you when that prayer is answered!!

Praying for you and your family,
Cheri

Lovingly to Everyone,

Very well stated, Marissa!!

In times of such emotional roll-a-coaster rides, temptation to loose faith can be very hard to fight off. I read these comments several times a day, and my heart breaks from feeling the pain and anguish in a lot of the words written.

God is the ONLY ONE that is REALLY in control here! We as adoptive parents can not control our adoptions - regardless of how organized we are in completing the paperwork, how committed we were in researching everything before choosing our agencies, how persistant we are with getting answers or how determined we are in getting the PGN Director to do what we demand, or be removed from office. Man can build sky scrappers but man can not make a STAR!! The best thing that has happened to during our adoption process, is really "finding" God. Two months ago, I was very depressed, angery, you name it - and I wanted to blame the PGN Director as well. I have always believed in God, but never really got it. What were these people talking about when they said God spoke to them, or God opened doors for them? I yearned to understand that, but know now that I never got it. During the time of two months ago, I started reading a small book "Bedside Blessings" each night in attempt give myself something to settle my mind, and sleep. Night after night the short daily comments and scripture were trying to beat in to my head to give my worries to God, and that he was the only one in control, that he would tote my burdens when I surrendered to him in acceptance. I remember feeling so lost, and failing to find how I could help my daughter come home to us. At the time we were stuck in the Embassy awaiting PA, and I had been told it would be at least another 45 days. That night I was a wreck, and when I read my book, it told me again that God loved me - and that he wanted me to give my troubles to him, and I would find peace. That's exactly what I did, and the next morning COMPLETE AND WONDERFUL CALMNESS had covered my body when I woke. It's hard to explain in words, but I just knew that everything would be fine. I think my husband thought I had lost my mind. Other Christian friends explained that it was the presence of God. Then the next morning, I came to work to receive an email sent to me at 5:40 AM that we were released with PA only nine days only two weeks in the embassy. So back in to PGN we went.

We are still in PGN, but I don't feel the same as before. God has opened my eyes, heart and mind to a better understanding of the PGN delays and the PGN Director's position. I, too, was doing a lot of bashing "this man that was holding our children hostage for his own personal agenda". I don't like it any more than anyone else, that I don't have my daughter home yet, but I can SEE now.

Guatemala is not the United States. Only after our adoptions are complete and final, are these babies truely belonging to us. Until then, these babies still belong to Guatemala.
We have not been granted "rights" to these beautiful babies through our paperwork and money - Guatemala is "allowing" us to adopt these babies out of their country. But... Guatemala does have the right to protect these children and determine if approval will be granted to each family. After all these are still their children. I know that I would rather have an ethical and moral adoption, in stead of a speedy one. I don't think the PGN Director has a personal attack on the US adoptions - but the more I read, the more I'm convinced that some of us have made it a personal attack on him. I just don't feel like the negative actions and comments will make this process move any faster, and it may just drive us crazy in the meantime.

"Do to others as you would have them do to you." (Luke 6:31)

Sorry for such a lengthy comment.

And YES, Marissa - I'll be glad to pray together!!!

Love and prayers to all,
Cheri

Hello,

I was telling my mother about the problems with PGN and the legal action that has been threatened against him and so on. At some point through the conversation she said "be careful what you wish for" and I have to say after thinking about it I am concerned with the legal action. I remember there was a long delay when the new PGN director started in April. If he is removed from his position it is very possible that our cases could be delayed even longer. We only know of our own cases still in PGN but there are new cases entering every day and if the director is removed because of legal action can you imagine the effect this will have?! I am very nervous about adding to the already existing problems.
Michele

Hi Cheri,

Is it really possible to get a receipt of the actual date my daughters paperwork was submitted? I am really worried because when we submitted the paperwork for the pre-approval it took almost a month. Later we found out that the pre-approval was done one week prior, but no one had went to pick-up the paperwork. It was just sitting there waiting for pick-up. How frustrating is that?

Jo Ann

Cheri.
I so appreciated your comments. As I have read and read these comments, day after day, and came to the conclusion . . no one has ever said anything regarding God being in control. To all of you reading on a daily basis these comments, let's pray for the release of these children everyday at 11:00 a.m. Regardless if your on standard/central/pacific times. Let's see how God can change things in Guatemala.
Marissa

Marissa,
I agree with you! It's incredibly hard to wait, but we also feel it's all in God's timing. I will be joining you daily with prayer!
Jenny

Joann,

First... when we were put in to the embassy for PA, our agency gave us the email address to the embassy, and instructed us to email the embassy in two weeks and "politely" request a status update. I did just that. The embassy emailed back almost immediately with a "polite but direct" email that they had received our paperwork, and that they had 30 days to process it. It was only a few days later that I received the email from the embassy that we were released. Then I forwarded the email to my case manager, and they forwarded it our attorney.
How were you notified? By your agency or the embassy. I've heard it both ways, but the most efficent seems to be the email from the embassy. I was just curious to who really held it up.

As far as the receipt of PGN - your agency should be able to get that receipt from your attorney. I have been very happy with my agency, but I talked to my case manager about the receipt last week. She said that they used to "always" supply a receipt, but had gotten away from it, since they had really not experienced any hold ups since 2003 due to PGN. She said that she could get it for me.

Have you asked your agency for the receipt?

Praying for you,
Cheri

Hi Cheri,

Thank you so much for the information. I have gotten more information from this web-site then my agency. I also had to email the embassy about the status of our pre-approval. When they emailed me back, they said that the pre-approval was complete, and that it had been waiting for pick-up since April 24, 2006. However, it was about May 15, 2006 at the time. This is the reason that I am so afraid. What if it's sitting there and no one is there to pick it up. I don't know, maybe I am worrying to much, but can you blame me. Yesterday, I called my agency and ask for a reciept of the actual day that my daughters paperwork was submitted. Needless to say the entire conversation made me feel very uncomfortable. I had hoped that I would hear from here from the agency today but never got a phone call. Oh well I guess it will be another week of waiting. Thank God I Have my work to keep me busy or else I would go mad.

Thanks again.
and prayers to
all of the parents
Jo Ann

To Shelly,
I'm wanting the same info.
We have been in PGN for almost 4 months now, so I'm ready to take action myself if that is what it takes!!A friend of mine adopted last year from Guatemala and had to use a AS. I would like any info. on this,and any referals.Our little girl is over 9 months now,with all expectations of getting her at 6 months.Can someone please help?
Thanks, Alley

Joann,

Please do not hesitate to ask anything you think of, because I'm more than happy to help, when I can - plus it gives me a way to feel productive in the topic most on my mind. I check this site several times a day, so I'll see your message.

Did your agency say they WOULD get your a receipt?? Just curious!

When you do talk to your agency, ask them how often your attorney's office goes to PGN for updates on who has been released and kicked out. I was talking with my case manager yesterday, and, before I had a chance to ask, she told me that my attorney visits PGN EVERY DAY!!

Hopefully, with all the problems with PGN, your attorney is doing the same. One thing my case manager said is that she knows the families feel like they are doing nothing, but they are checking on the cases EVERY DAY.

Maybe after the holidays, he'll get to signing, signing and signing some more!!!!

Good luck, and prayers be with you and the rest waiting,

Cheri F

Alley,

I noticed you mentioned that your friends used an AS and that you might do the same. Is that some type of additinal Attorney to work on your behalf. Whatever it is, I would like to know more information about it. We have heard a few things about hiring additional help in Guatemala. Any information will be greatly appreicated.

Thank you,
Chad & Hillary

Something that is supposed be so special has turned out to be one of the most depressing upsetting and stomach turning events in my life. How sad? I do not sleep I can hardly eat my stomach is in knots. I have been in PGN since 3/24 it is now 4/5. We had a holiday here but there was no holiday in Guatemala. I have no problem getting my social worker on the phone but I do have a problem getting my program coordinator on the phone I think she forgets what her job is. I am going to call her today and ask her opinion about using an adoption supervisor. Anyone else's opinion would be greatly app..........
