Yesterday I got to sit with a new friend who JUST brought their child home from Haiti! They are originally from Nebraska so you know they are good people! :) Her family literally lives 15 miles away from us! What a blessing for our family for multiple reasons: 1. I got to hear all about her first hand experience. It was nice to talk to her since she has JUST finished the adoption, and was JUST over in Haiti. 2. She will be able to answer questions and help me with many things throughout the process. 3. Our kids will be able to have a friend who comes from the same cultural background. What a great blessing for our children! and 4. It's just nice to have a new friend!
So yesterday I got to meet my new friend's daughter from Haiti. The girl is the sweetest thing you ever did see and she and The Bash played together like old friends for hours! While they played we talked all about how we arrived at adoption, how we chose Haiti, the process of adoption, and her trips to Haiti. Our stories are so similar, yet SO different. There are so many new experiences that my family and I are going through, and it's very nice to have someone who fully understands that near by.The Lord always provides for all our needs! Sometimes we need to have some encouragement and excitement put back into our lives. My new friend did that for me yesterday.
Right now in our process we are...
- waiting to get our date so we can go and get our electronic fingerprints done.
- finishing up with our dossier. These documents will be sent to Haiti and they will read those to determine if we can adopt from their country. (this will take 3-4 months once it is sent over to their country). Then once we are approved we will get matched with a child!
Our needs/ help:
- Please keep praying for our child, for Haiti, and for our family. We appreciate it, and feel your love in so many ways!
- If you want to donate you can
- Share this with others! As this process has been going, and as people read this it has encouraged some to maybe consider adoption themselves!
