He is AMAZING!!

Why do I still get surprised by how GOOD and FAITHFUL our God is!?!

He truly gives beyond what we could ask or think.

I never would have dreamed, in a million years, that when Rich and I travel

to Haiti next week, that we would have enough money to finish the

extensive paperwork (and all the translations) and to actually file

for the boys.  (Remember that it costs $3000 per child to file with

the court system?)

But WE DO AND WE ARE!!!

Through the amazing generosity of family and friends, we have now

completed our paperwork!

The translator, who decided upon reading

through our paperwork that she was so moved she wanted to help us out,

is not only doing the translations in time for us to go, but at a

greatly reduced rate!!

We were also gifted a donation this week that allows us to

file with the court while we are in Haiti next week!

After that, it’s just waiting for God to move mountains governments,

to get the boys home as soon as possible!  I have to tell you, that because

we also received, during the other AMAZING provisions of God all in this week,

we were also offered a much needed nearly brand new twin mattress and

box-spring… I’m thinking we really could get these boys sooner than we were

expecting!

As far as the process goes, it normally takes 9 months to 2 years from when you file.

“They say” they are going to try to push them through faster.  I DID hear that one gal

who is adopting from the same orphanage said that usually the first step takes

2-3 months, and it only took 2 weeks for hers.  We found that encouraging!

Well, that is the update from here! We head out on Wed evening, to sleep in Boston

and fly out at 6 a.m. on Thurs June 3rd.  We get back near midnight on Monday

the 7th.  I”ll be sure to post pictures on Facebook and here when we get back!
