Stella.


here she is. Estella. she is completely asleep in all the photos we received at referral, but in one very fuzzy one we can see that she has a dimple! we went through all the acceptance docs last night and i've been filling in all the blanks on the forms today. we are meeting with our 2 witnesses and the notary this afternoon then will head to get the state seals right after. hopefully we will have our acceptance docs in by tomorrow. our agency tells us the AVERAGE wait time from when our acceptance docs are received in Guatemala until pick up is 8-9 months. we are hopeful (just like EVERY other waiting family) that our wait will be shorter, but noone knows what will happen. every journey is different. Stella, we already love you with all our hearts and can't wait to meet you in person. We will be there before you know it!

What a pretty baby! How old is she in the pictures? How big is she? Congratulations on your referral, and here's hoping the adoption process is smooth and quick for all of us!
