We found out last Thursday that MV and R's files were signed out of IBESR!!! This is GREAT news! As we have learned with K's file, making progress with Haitian adoptions is close to molasses going uphill! Well, progress DOES happen but certainly in a different time zone - perhaps one that doesn't really exist in any other place than the Caribbean. Mark calls it Kolob time.
Anyway, we are thrilled things are moving for our files - all of them! We are STILL WAITING for K's passport to be printed. Hopefully we will hear about that soon so we can plan our trip to Haiti.
Speaking of our trip to Haiti....THANK YOU to all who have donated and are planning on donating shoes, clothing and bed sheets. Some have asked if used items are okay. YES!!! Like new would be best. If we are overwhelmed with donations ;) we will save some to donate to Foyer de Sion when we travel again to Haiti to bring home MV and R.
We also found out American Airlines is lifting their luggage embargo on August 12. This will allow us to take extra luggage. Each extra suitcase will cost $80 and over weight luggage will cost $25. I'm not fond of asking for money but if you feel inclined... we would use it for this.
Thanks to all who have already sent donations!!!

That's such great news!!!
I totally get the different perception of time. It can make you want to pull your hair out...
I am going to e-mail you my dad's info in Haiti. He's a doctor and he works mainly in family planing.
He has lots of friends in all sorts of places that could maybe put a RUSH sign on your files :)
I so hope with all my heart that this comes true for you, and for those incredibly lucky kids you are making part of your family.
Can't find an e-mail to contact you, so please tell me how to at:
anilumagloire@yahoo.com
It would make too happy if I could help you in some way :)
