Chugging Along...

I cannot believe we leave for Haiti in a little over three weeks. No this is not to get our child (I wish!), but rather to work at the orphanage--a one week mission trip. I keep hoping the God will make a way for us to meet our son, but I also know that that is unlikely at this time. Dr. Bernard, the orphanage director, said it's not impossible to have a referral done before the final paperwork arrives, but it's not recommended. Either way I'm going to hug and kiss each little guy and take lots of pictures!!

As far as the paperwork, it is coming along really well. We are nearly finished with the homestudy, and before I leave for Haiti, all the documents should be gathered for our dossier. God willing they will be sent off to the Secretary of State for Apostille before we leave. It should not be long before the paperwork is complete and the REAL waiting begins. But I try to think of it as an opportunity for the Lord to refine my character and make me a more patient person. : )
