Status Que

Well we got our latest update a little early. Molly who writes them is coming to the States for a month, so she got it off a little early. Which means the next one will probably be a little late. Everything is status que with the girls, nothing much new with them. It is the rainy season down there so they are struggling with colds and sniffles at the orphanage, as are we in our household. Brison was out of school last week for a few days and then made his brother sick. They had sore throats and fevers.

We got some great pictures of the girls and they look great! I will post some here. Our paperwork is still in IBESR and expect it to be there for another month. We just got an update on the status of the different governmental agencies our paperwork has to go through and IBESR seems to be the only one running smoothly. The others are all a coin toss and those are the ones our stuff goes to next. So who knows what our timeframe is going to look like. We are hoping Spring, but at this point it could be Summer. I just hope it is prior to the start of school next year. Only God knows and His timing is perfect!

I just had lunch with a woman who is also adopting from Haiti. She is adopting two girls, who are 5 and 7. Our girls and her girls are friends down at the orphanage and now they will be living 20 minutes away from each other. Isn't that great? I love that our girls will have some kind of reminder of home up here.

Brison has been at school for a month and is doing great. He loves his teacher and is making friends. He has also started piano lessons and seems to be really enjoying that as well.

Walker started preschool and loves it! He doesn't understand why everyone is in school and he is the only one home during the day. Tough to be one of the youngest in the neighborhood. We have bible study and Kindermusik to keep us busy during the week as well.

Well that is about it. Thank you for your many prayers, they sure are felt. We have such a great peace about our adoption and we know it is all from God. I hope this message finds you all well.

Love,

Allison
