Prayers for All

I don't know if you have been following the news much at all, but there has been a lot of unrest and hard things going on in Haiti. Here is an email from our country rep that fills you in the best:

I wanted to take a moment to update you with information that we have received from our in-country partners today. As you all know, about a month ago, I sent you an update regarding the political climate of Haiti.  I know that we have all been praying as the Haitian government continued to make decisions and work through challenges. The potential elections did not occur yesterday, and this has caused unrest in the Port-au-Prince area. The unrest has resulted in riots some of which have become violent in nature. There is potential that the unrest could cause different governmental offices to close for several days. All of our in-country staff, homes, and children are safe and doing well. Our in-country partners are keeping us abreast of the situation as things arise. I would like to encourage you to continue to use this an opportunity to pray as I know you have been doing. As you continue to pray, please know that we are praying for your family as we wait on updates to come. 

Please keep the people and the country in your prayers right now. Not sure what this means for us as far as adoption goes. I guess we'll just have to wait and see (seems to be the name of the game lately). I do imagine it will make our process all the more longer (right now we are looking at 2 years still).  I hope you continue to keep us in your prayers and the entire country of Haiti. 


THANKS!
