Happy Thanksgiving

We have so much to be thankful for this year! We hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and know how grateful we are to have you in our lives.

Knowing that months from now we will be on our way to Guatemala to bring Cohen home is such an incredible feeling! Love Basket told us that we can send him a small package. We are going to send books and tapes with us reading the stories. That way he will recognize our voices when we first meet him. We are also going to send blankets and a small stuffed animal that we will sleep with for a few nights so that he will know what "home" smells like.

Quick update on where we are in the adoption process: We over-nighted the dossier to the Guatemalan Embassy in D.C. on Tuesday. They must have been closed on Wed. because our tracking information said that they attempted to deliver it, but it was not received. Once the Guatemalan Embassy in D.C. receives it, they will legalize it and send it back to us. That should take about a week. We will then send it to our attorney in Guatemala and our dossier can officially begin moving through the courts.
