Friday August 21st we recieved word that Moriah and her birth mother's DNA have been tested and it is a 99.99% match....which is awesome!!!!! We are so excited. We also found out some news that we both need to get down and visit in order for her to come back to the US as a citizen rather than a permanent resident. We had planned to go visit in November, but after visiting with our agency this week they suggested we go sooner just in case things speed up down in Guatemala. If Moriah came in the US as a resident rather than a citizen it would take from 9-12 months for the citizenship process. This would delay our Thailand plans siginficantly...plus we both can't wait to hop on a plane as soon as possible and hold our little girl. It was hard finding a time to go since Kris is about to start school, but we decided to go the week of labor day. He will just miss 2 days! So we are off to Guatemala Sept 3-8. WE CAN'T wait! Now we are busy gathering everything a baby might need for a week in a hotel. We can keep her with us the whole time we are there as long as we don't leave the Marriott. Here we come bottles, diapers, burp rags ets!!!!! Woo Hoo... ( I am choosing not to think about the moment I have to hand her back to the foster mom and come back home without her!) Lord please let Moriah make it home soon!
