This past week was "Carnival" in Haiti celebrating Mardi Gras. All of the government offices were closed for the majority to all of the week so we are hopeful this week will bring better news for our process. (Sidenote--can you even imagine if our government would close down for a week to celebrate a holiday??? Crazy!) We are still waiting for the decree to come out of Archives and deeply desire to see this movement since we have been here for at least 5 weeks now when it should have only taken 1-2 weeks to get out. Please continue praying for the release of our papers.
I had to laugh a bit yesterday when picking up Lily from a birthday party. As I waited for her to gather her stuff I got the chance to talk to the mother of Lily's friend. This mom and I have become friends over the past year since our girls became friends in kindergarten. She and I were discussing if there was any news about Nora or a timeline of when we would get her home. One of her comments is what made me laugh...she said, "It seems like this is taking forever. I mean, as long as I've known you, you have been trying to adopt her!" How true. It's time to bring this girl to the homestretch when you realize there are people who have never known you to NOT be in the process of adopting-ha!
Well, here's to a "new year" and a year where Nora will, Lord willing, grace our household with much joy and light!
