Previo...back in line.

We just got word that a document in our file had to be redone (i.e. we had a 'previo' or 'knockout'.) We are not sure of the date of the knock out, but we do know that the file was resubmitted on the 9th of February. Unfortunately, the way the system works is that we now start back at the beginning of the line to be reviewed. They don't look for all problems at once, but bounce the thing each time there is a problem and the whole package is resubmitted.

So what does that mean practically? At this point, that means that we could get another previo at any time, and if we don't, and things go smoothly, we will hear in 6-10 weeks that we will be able to get the baby a month or so from that notice. The upshot is that we have no idea how long it will be from here.

The other news is political, and just rumor at this point, but it looks as if the VP of Guatemala is going to make an announcement/decree that the adoption procedures should be made more stringent than they currently are (I know, hard to comprehend...) We have no idea how that will affect adoptions already in process. That said, we are being told that it shouldn't be a problem for us. We'll know more soon...
