News on adoption..

Not ours.. but several people in the yahoo group I am in! All of us are adopting from New Life Link and in the past few days five families have found out that they are out of IBESR and can head to Haiti ASAP to go to the higher court!

What does it mean to go to higher court I hear you ask?

Well..

After the documents are released from IBESR then they are all authenticated in Parquet.

Once they have been approved to go to the higher court the parents are told to come to Haiti. They will then appear before the judge and, after some questioning, the adoption will be declared legal. The documents are all signed and then sent to MOI for authentication.

Steve and I went to the lower court while we were in Haiti. That was to confirm that we did indeed desire to adopt Peter and Wadley. We are looking forward to hearing that we have to go back to hear the judge tell us we are legally their parents!!! That is a while off for us though because we are still waiting on Peter's IBESR clearance.

Meanwhile we can rejoice for the parents who have heard they are one huge step closer to brining their children home! It's a day of rejoicing in our home today for these prescious gifts of God, many of whom we fell in love with while we were there a few weeks ago.
