We are family...come on everybody and sing!!!

Hola, from sunny Guatemala! It is Tuesday evening here in Ursula's birth country and we had our Embassy appointment this morning....it is complete now, Ursula is a Raab! The appointment was really no big deal like everyone said...the biggest task was keeping 15 to 20 babies entertained for 3+ hours! It's not a very big room that we are all in and everyone was working on little to no breakfast and not a lot of sleep. All in all, it went well and the process was a piece of cake. We waited for awhile until we were called to go into door number 10, which literally was a closet with a woman behind a glass window. Steve had to answer a few questions like...was he ever married before and was he ever denied citizenship. Then he initialled afew things and we were back out with the lot of unhappy babies to wait some more. Once we were called the 2nd time to window number 7, the lady there verified that Ursula was the same baby as the one on the passport, again asked some different questions, such as, is she our only child, are we going to change her name, when did we meet her and the agency that we used. We raised our right hands and swore that all the info they had was true to the best of our knowledge, and she said...Congratulations...you can come pick up your visa tomorrow afternoon. That's it...I guess all the really important stuff was gone over throughout the process and that's what took so long...It seems to me that they just have to ask something while you're there to make it official, I don't know!
So we're off to the zoo tomorrow, yes, I said zoo...I know you're all shocked! I can't even get out of a foreign country withour hitting a zoo! Steve will go over with our translator tomorrow to get the visa and then we are all done. Our flight leaves on Thursday and we are so ready to come home. We've met some new families this time, some picking up and some just visiting with no idea when their day will come. We met a woman at the Embassy that is adopting a little girl who is going to be 8 in June and she is sooo cute. She's very shy and doesn't speak English, but she is so happy to have a new mommy and they seem to get along great. They are actually going to be on our flight to Charlotte, but will travel onto Jersey from there.
So this experience has been a tough and trying one to say the least, but one that we wouldn't trade for anything! We can't wait for you all to follow Ursula's journey once we get home! So, this is going to be my one and only post from Guat...we'll see you in the US!
