DNA Match!!


We just wanted to let you know that today we got an envelope from a DNA lab in North Carolina which concluded that the birth mom is actually the birth mom to Henry. Well, they are 99.71% sure, so we'll take that as a yes! So, here is the revised case update (it's always good to include more dates):

Homestudy approval by Social Worker: 6-5-06
I-171H received (approval by U.S. govt.): 6-26-06
Josue Moises Morales born: 7-12-06
Guatemalan dossier completed: 7-17-06
REFERRAL OF JOSUE!!: 7-24-06
Referral paperwork completed: 7-28-06
Power of Attorney sent to Guatemala: 8-8-06
Birth mom & Henry DNA test: 8-25-06
DNA Match: 9-11-06
Approval by Guatemala family court:
Approval by PGN:
Travel date:
Return home!:

The race of Henry and the birth mom was listed as "Guatemalan". A very cute picture of our little guy was included as well, but we can't post it because he is sitting with his birth mom. Henry is spreading both of his arms out as far as he can and has a shirt with the number "34" on it. That's Kirby's number!

    One step closer! I wonder where the lab is in North Carolina where the DNA test was done? Strange to think that the test could have been done down the road from where I am. Can't wait for your next exciting update!
