Our Baby Names!

Last week we received an email from Laurie at Love Basket telling us that there is a possibility that we may be able to give our baby his or her original name that would go on the first birth certificate. This makes us hopeful that there is a possible birthmother who is getting ready to deliver! Laurie explained that if we had already agreed on baby names, to give her a boy and a girl name so that she could pass the names on to the attorney in Guatemala just in case the timing worked out. So, our baby names are: Cohen Isaac for a boy and Sadie Elise for a girl. You may post positive comments only about these names! :)

We also received our final paperwork packet explaining how to prepare the dossier. This is the paperwork that needs to be notarized, certified, authenticated, and legalized! It is extremely overwhelming, so we are trying to just break it up into manageable pieces. We are also waiting on our I-171 from Immigration. When we receive this, we will be able to accept a referral for a baby! Robby has a friend of a friend who works in the Immigration Office downtown, so we are hoping he can help pull some strings.

We are also checking our mail daily in hopes of hearing from one of the many grants we have applied for. Continue to check our sight -- we may have a picture soon!
