It's official....we are finally in PGN. The waiting game really begins now. Our wait can be anywhere from 2-6 months. Of course, we are hoping for the 2 month wait! Here is a little explanation of PGN if you are not sure what I am talking about...
PGN stands for Procuradoria General de la Nacion. The PGN in Guatemala is made up of lawyers, judges, counselors and administrators as a combination of the US Immigration Service and elements of the Justice Department. The Procurador is the person who manage and administers laws on behalf of people adopting through the PGN in Guatemala.In order to comply with The Hague Convention, the PGN in Guatemala was set up to act as the central department with authority over adoption in Guatemala. In addition to standardizing the adoption process, the Hague Convention is also an effort to stop the trafficking of children.The PGN in Guatemala is the group that receives the paperwork prepared by prospective parent(s). The PGN reviews the paperwork and analyzes it against the adoption requirements required by Guatemala and the guidelines of The Hague Convention.
I will now not get any updates until I hear that I have been approved through PGN. Pictures and measurements will still be coming, so make sure to check back every once in awhile!
