So my MIL (mother-in-law) is in Haiti right now. It kinda was a last minute deal. See Megan's family is trying to adopt again. I have a BIL and SIL both from China, and legally I have two SILs in Haiti. The problem is, even though the twin girls (Adelina and Sophia, seen left w/ Jen) are legally "Geruntho's" there is a paper sitting on a desk in Haiti that needs signed. Literally.
So Jen went down to Haiti with two other adoptive Moms to go see the children they are adopting. We are so excited to have the girls up in PA. We have been for about 2 years. We actually were told they would be here by Megan and my wedding (BTW- our first anniversary is this Sunday). Then we thought they would be here for Christmas. Then there was a stretch in May that we thought that Jen and Jim would fly down and pick the girls up any day.
But it obviously never happened. So today Jen and the other Moms are going to the office where the paper jam is and ask that they would be allowed to take the girls home. Pray for this resolution! Please! If it does not happen soon it could be another year. I am tired of getting excited from progress then endless set backs, I cannot even begin to understand how Jen and Jim feel.
Hopefully I can post a picture of the girls in the US soon!
-God, we are so excited that Jim and Jen have followed your call to adopt again. To help make life right for Adelina and Sophia. We ask that you would finish the adoption process and that the girls would come home, soon. Help everyone involved to have the patience when needed. But we ultimately ask that you would put an end to the paperwork and allow Jen to bring the girls home. God, you are more than capable of this and we look forward to when these girls will learn to live their lives seeking to follow you. Amen.
