Just a Little Update....

I have not posted much about our adoption process most recently. We are still in the same holding pattern...

The orphanage DID receive Daniel's birth certificate in December; which is WONDERFUL news! So, now we are waiting for the Mayor's "consent to adopt" for our little guy. Once we have that, the boys' file will enter IBESR - Haitian Social Services.
Waiting for the consent to adopt could be about 5-6 months at this point. Right now, we are praying the Mayor will take Jonathan's illness into consideration and process the paperwork a little bit faster. It is Haiti; however, so we just never know what will happen.

We are also continuing to pursue the medical visa for Jonathan. We have our congressman involved and very willing to assist us to get an approval. We all agree that Jonathan really does need more extensive medical care than offered in Haiti, so we are going to give it another shot. We are so thankful our little guy is healthy right now and pray he stays that way while he lives in Haiti. So, while we wait, we pray. We pray our adoption process continues as planned. We pray Jonathan's NF stays in check and Daniel continues to thrive at Three Angels. We pray all the children at the orphanage, Three Angels and Haiti are protected by the Lord. We pray the US Immigration has a caring heart for the sick children around the world. We pray the Lord's will is done!
