Guatemala Adoption 2006

Erin and Andy Pratt's journey to adopt a child from Guatemala.

Hello Guatemala!!

A few of you have already heard the GREAT news, but we officially got the call this morning to come get Henry! We will be flying to Guatemala City (via Houston) from the Cities on Sunday afternoon. We will get in about 10pm, so I'm assuming we'll meet Henry for the first time sometime on Monday. Our appointment at the U.S. Embassy is on Wednesday sometime. We have been advised to stay after the appointment in case there are any snags, so we will leave Guatemala on Friday afternoon and get into the Cities around 10pm. Then the next day will be our first drive as a complete family (dog included) to Duluth.

We have so much to do in the meantime so I have to make this short for now. I had just brought Rosita home from the vet (she was spayed yesterday) and we were trying to soothe her from that experience when the phone rang from our agency, so we were both there to hear it. How blessed we are with our fast timeline! Thank you to all for your thoughts and prayers.

Current temp. in Guatemala City: 79
Current temp. in Duluth: 18
