Haitian Orphans - an update

While the nation of Haiti is in turmoil, there are amazing things happening!

Kindy, now Elijah, is home from Haiti. He has a forever family, a warm bed, a mommy and daddy to love him. Rejoicing that his paperwork was completed so quickly.

Lovely still waits. She was supposed to come home today, but there are delays. Her family has been a tremendous voice for her and all the orphans in Haiti. Please pray for Lovely and all the other kids waiting to come home to their forever families.

I honestly don't understand how the Haitian adoption process works. News reports share stories of kids who came "home" quickly, yet others wait. But I do know that God works things out. His Word promises "that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, and who have been called according to his purpose." (Rom 8:28)

Praying today for the orphans of Haiti:
  • That Lovely, and other kids with forever families, will be home soon.
  • That the new orphans, those children who lost their parents in the earthquake, will be discovered and will receive love, care and support from the volunteers and other workers in Haiti right now.
  • That God will provide permanent families for these kids.
  • That families who separated in the chaos and confusion following the earthquake will be reunited.
Amen
