Well after having to change lawyers, hire another lawyer to help advise us, change facilitators, lose all trust and respect with our agency, AND spend approximately 20 months in and out of PGN, we are so pleased to announce that we are officially OUT OF PGN and our little Max is officially a YODER!!!! We cannot even begin to tell you how elated we are with this news. Even though Max has been ours since the very beginning, we are so relieved to know that he is now legally our son and that we can move on with our life as a family!!!!
Moving forward, we have already begun the steps to get us home. At this point it is looking like we will have to celebrate the holidays here in sunny Guatemala and plan to come back to the U.S.A. sometime in January. Who knows, maybe we will go swimming on Christmas Day and get a little sun while sipping some Gallo's while Max savors a peach juice box in a chaise lounge chair. Considering Chicago winters are a serious business, Max may want us to immediately book a return flight to Guatemala the second he lands in the Windy City! I don't think he quite realizes that the weather will probably be his biggest adjustment (as well as mine!).
Anyway, thanks to everyone for all the caring support that has been provided to us over the past couple years. Words cannot really describe how we feel right now. All we know is that we feel truly blessed and grateful.
Will keep you posted on our continued progress...
Much love y besos,
Jen, Mark y Max Crisitian Alexander Yoder
