We have had a change in plans concerning our Guatemalan adoption. We have decided to not adopt from Guatemala due to some warnings from our US Department of State; I have posted the links below to the warnings and recommendations . We have put a lot of time and effort into completing all of our paperwork along with paying our adoption agency a deposit of $1,000. BUT, everything happens for a reason. We are staying positive and ask for your prayers. I go back to the doctor in August, and I intend to discuss with Dr. Richmond the possibility of Jay and I trying to conceive a child of our own.

Some of you may be asking why we were only interested in a Guatemalan adoption. I don't travel very well as far as flying in a plane. Therefore, we were looking to adopt from a country that I could make the flight to in order to visit and pick up the child.

We truly appreciate all of your love and support. Please take the time to read about the Hague Convention and warnings/recommendations below.
