IBESR Prayers. No personal news..

No new news on our dossier which waits to be accepted into IBESR. Once accepted I think our dossier would arrive on desk of the lawyer referred to below.

News from God's Littlest Angels near Port. Best source for news from IBESR we have found.

We had so hoped that the new process would be quicker.  We knew the interview process with the biological parents would take time, but once it was finished and the children were declared adoptable, we expected quick referrals of the children to adoptive families.  It started out well and then the person who was in the position to make those referrals and started the new program quit on December 31st! 

Now a new lawyer is in charge but he has other jobs at IBESR.  So now we wait.  I think he is trying to review the files and get a handle on what needs to be done but because he has so much work, it is hard to do!  Please, we need to say a special prayer for referrals and that children will not have to stay any longer in the orphanage than necessary. -

In other news. Haiti should know by April 1st if they met the requirements for Hague adoptions. Knowing that this was the goal our dossier and documents already met Hague requirements. Notice
Thankful that so far Haiti did not need to close down adoptions.

We know the power of prayer. We do that Satan does not want children to be accepted into loving Christian homes. Please join us in this spiritual battle.

Please Pray for:

• Our acceptance into IBESR
• For the referral lawyer to learn his job [rapidly and learn to work efficiently and without errors], that he gets help, for health, that he does GREAT at matching children with the families who wait. 
• That the IBESR folks learn to delegate, and find the qualified staff [and $ to pay them] to cut down wait times.
• For the new process as folks continue to learn and improve things.
• Thankful for the families moving through the process after being stuck for months.
• That the government remains stable.
• That families going through the process of giving up their children understand, stay together if at all possible and that they can find comfort and hope from the Lord-meeting Him in the mist of their trials.
