We got word today that IBESR (Haitian Social Services) has suspended new applications for adoption. This will not affect our application and in fact, we believe it will help speed things along
Here is the text from the press release.
Haiti's adoption authority, l'Institut du Bien Être Social et de Recherches (IBESR), informed U.S. Embassy Port-au-Prince that it will suspend processing of new adoption cases effective May 7, 2012. IBESR indicated that the suspension will enable it to expedite processing on its backlog of pending cases and begin internal restructuring to bring it closer to international standards. The U.S. Embassy has been assured the suspension is temporary and that IBESR will continue to process all cases that are filed before May 7.
If you have questions about the status of your adoption case, please work closely with your adoption agency or facilitator. Please refer to our website at adoption.state.gov for updates on the temporary suspension.
Leslie and I view this as a very positive development. Anything that "expedites the backlog of pending cases", is something that we are in favor of.
Now let's all pray that the timing of expediting the application is on U.S. time and not Haiti time.
