Done with first stage

Isabelle just called and she told me that the Judge has signed the petition and now it is at the Defender of Minors. They have 3 or 5 business days to sign it, I'm not sure which because it depends on which court you are in. after that it goes back to the same Judge for final approval which is called Sentencia and that can take up to another 10 business days. Once we have our Sentencia, and I'm not real clear on how these steps go but Isabelle will walk me through, we get a new birth certificate with mine and Kathy's name on it, we get cleared by the Dr., we apply for a passport and then we apply for a visa, that all takes 3 or 4 business days. But at least we know where we are.
