Good News

Once again, we have been quiet on this blog.  Not a whole lot has been happening, just a lot of waiting.  IBESR (social services in Haiti) has been going through some changes and as a result they temporarily stopped accepting dossiers.  The news was a little troubling and unsettling, but that's just how it is with international adoption.  We were told that they would re-open on August 1st but then got the news that it wasn't going to be until sometime in September.  Bummer.  We were starting to get a bit nervous because the news was so vague and who knew if they would re-open or just stayed closed indefinitely.  

On another note, we are very excited to say that we have about $9,600 raised!  Give1Save1 was such a blessing to us.....what an incredibly fun and encouraging week we had!  Thank you again to all of you who helped get the word out and for those of you who gave.  We still need that $28,000 in place to be matched.  

Okay, so here's the good news.  We just received word this morning that IBESR is once again accepting dossiers starting THIS THURSDAY!!!!  We are so excited, but now in even more of a hurry.  We need prayer warriors to join us as we pray for the following:

1. For a miracle.  For the rest of the money to come quickly so we can be matched and get our dossier in....PRONTO!!  Because even if IBESR closes again we can still complete our adoption if we've been matched and the dossier has been approved.

2. For IBESR to remain open not just for us and our sweet kiddos, but for all the other kids that are waiting for their families!  It's hard to think of all those children in an orphanage with no hope of being matched with a family, just because of the inconsistencies in international adoption and the Haitian government.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and please, we ask for prayers, for our God to move mountains.  There is so much peace in knowing that our God can do this..........if our God is for us, then who can be against us?  AMEN!!
