I just heard from our agency today that our attorney is looking into a “previo” (or “prevention”) to our case in El Salvador.  It’s basically a reason to interrupt processing our file at OPA (La Oficina Para Adopciones – The Office for Adoptions).  Sometimes a prevention happens when paperwork is missing or not completed (I promise this isn’t it), sometimes it’s because of a request for additional information.  Sometimes it’s just one person at OPA wanting to review another’s work.

And as OPA fired two of their staff psychologists a few months back, it’s possible that one of them was part of our review process, and so now someone else wants to double check that screening.

Sigh.

Our file has been there since mid-last year, so our attorney thinks it’s some kind of internal technicality within OPA itself, not something we need to (or can) do anything about.

On the one hand, FRUSTRATING.  On the other, though, at least this means someone’s looking at our file, right?

Appreciate prayers from those of you who pray!

Meanwhile, I’m still mired in home study update paperwork here in the U.S.  Something I can and need to do something about.

Thanks, all!
