Stephanie, Hello. I found your comment on Peekaboo regarding our Adoption Journey. I read your journey thus far. We will join you in prayer that those beautiful boys will come home soon! IBESR had been moving along quickly, however, there has been a change in office. The hope is that nothing will change and files will be processed quickly. Also, there was a change in the office of Parquet. I am so thankful for this as our file was held up for nearly 10 months in this office. Gasant was not friendly about adoption and against those with bio children. There have been some good changes that have taken place and it is very hopeful for the Haitian adoptions. I actually witnessed an adoption take place from beginning to end within seven months.. It was for an older child, age 14. I was absolutely amazed!! Our adoption took nearly three years from the time we committed and just over two years from the time documents were submitted. Your family is beautiful! Praying that your home will be complete soon! Hugs! Phyllis rudynphyllis@yahoo.com
This blog was created to chronicle our family's journey to adopt our fourth child, a little boy from Haiti. Long before knowing him, we chose his name: Ian, meaning "God is gracious." Along the way our journey grew to include not only one, but two little boys from Haiti!
Ian and Alec finally arrived home on January 19, 2010.

All things ARE possible.
We should start our own "Hangin' Out In IBESR Since July" club. :~) I do hope we both exit VERY VERY SOON. Today would be good.
Praise God!
