Some good adoption news ....

We found out last night that there was a DNA match between Sara and her birthmother. This was one of many hurdles we needed to jump over to verify the adoption is ethical and legal (no baby stealing, etc.); the DNA test is a requirement of the U.S. Department of State through the embassy in Guatemala City. Now, we are waiting for "pre-approval" for a visa for Sara from the embassy after which we'll enter the Guatemalan system for finalization of the adoption.
