New photos of Mateo today!

The Gladney Center was able to have their Guatemalan representative, Claudia go to the orphanage on the 14th of August to get pictures of Mateo...he is getting so big! He looks great, believe me, the Sept. 22nd court hearing cannot come soon enough! We are having to get an extention on our I-600 form, this will be good for another 18 months. Although just got notice today in the mail from USCIS that they will not do an extention until we do another homestudy update, as in the state of KS the are very strict and want a new one every 6 months....even though our homestudy doesnt expire until Nov of 2008....so another $400! I will look forward to the day we have Mateo home and all of these kinds of things are done....

Below is the written update I got today from the Gladney rep....
& I will also attach pictures...
