Timing

I just had to share some excitement!! Adoptions haven't been going super fast from Haiti--however we knew that since we recieved our referral. Adoptions are taking 9 months all the way up to 18 months to complete (after having a referral)----so realistically speaking Aidan could possibly not come home until this time next year. However there have been a few good things happening. They have been changing some of the process so that if we are interested in doing 2 trips to Haiti, we could take 1 trip relatively soon here and file some paperwork IN Haiti and that could save a couple months off the process. So we said "YES--when can we go?" !!!!!! And now today I was checking out the blog of information for us and this is what it said ..........."I just spoke to Dixie from GLA, and she informed me that the Head of Parquet (District Attorney), has resigned from his position. The Haitian media has been widely broadcasting this news since early this morning. For the past year and a half, he has been making adoptions very difficult in Haiti, causing many delays in the process. We are praying that whoever will replace him will be in favor of adoptions, and will have the children's best interests in mind, resulting in the adoption process moving more quickly." So this is good!!!!.....but we still need prayers that indeed the replacement will benefit adoptions and not further hinder them.

So God continues to open doors and help in this process. I still have no idea, but I do know that God is working it out. Our desire is still to spend Aidan's 3rd birthday with him.
