Continuing to make progress

Lots and lots of people have been asking if we have any updates in the weeks following our trip to Haiti. The answer to that is "Yes and No". Yes, we took another step in that our application was submitted to Parquet (District Attorney) last week. No, in the sense that we can't give folks a definitive answer on when we get to go back and bring him home.

I've included the chart below in previous blog posts. I wanted to update it and post it again.

Looking at this chart and the conservative side of the time frame is overwhelming at times. However, we consistently get encouragement from various sources that keeps us going. All of your inquiries and well wishes keep us going. We also continue to see good progress and the right things happening with adoptions in Haiti. Thank you all for your continued thoughts and prayers.

I do want to point out an upcoming milestone that could use your prayers. Part of the process requires the US Embassy to meet with his birth mother. On November 27th, that interview will take place. Please join us in praying that the orphanage can get her to the Embassy and that the interview goes as God intends. We know that God is leading us on this journey and that the outcome is up to him. But, we still have moments of nervousness and concern and the interview with the birth mother is one of those moments.
