Here in Houston they measure the freezing weather by the number of hours. (ie: Last night it hit freezing for 2 hours. ) It doesn't snow here and it doesn't usually ice. Yesterday it was drizzly and last night it hit 31 degrees F. They are calling it 'Arctic Blast'. The overpasses and bridges iced up and people literally freaked out. The news media are the funniest. They have reporters posted all over town. They go from one to another asking them how it is, and they are all saying it is fine but it might get worse later. They want everyone to stay home. They have hourly lessons on how to drive on ice, steer into the skid, don't hit the brakes, etc etc. The roads are wet but not bad. I didn't even wear a coat to work today! It would be pathetic if it weren't so darn funny to watch!
Yesterday was a crazy adoption update day. Here is what we were told on Ahren's case. 1) Agency says the rectification has been rejected by PGN. We ask for clarification and get a message from the facilitator that says 2) file was rejected 4 times for stupid things but attorneys have resubmitted it and are pushing hard. Then later, 3)Adoption Supervisors (our extra attorneys in Guat) write to tell us that the contact in the attorney's office claims that all of the delays are because the office re-organized and the files were lost in the chaos. But not to worry, they have gone back to their original methods and are back to normal. None of this even fazed me. The facilitator did offer us a new referal, but we declined. We want our son and will stick this out until we either bring him home or are told that is impossible.

Oh, that is a crazy update day! Hopefully, AS (yeah, if I were betting I would go with AS over your other attorney any day!) has it right and PGN is going back to the "old way" and will get this resolved soon.
You guys are awesome -- Ahren is your son, and that is that!!!
I will be back --Caleb is calling!!!
YIKES! I have been hearing that things were a little weird with PGN for a little bit too. I bet AS is right. I'm sorry! I hope this is over soon. It's so ridiculous. Hugs to you. Angel
That sucks!! This is a baby that we are talking about not a couch. PGN needs to get their act together.
