Wed.

Well, we heard from T's parents and they are fine after this mornings 6.1 "aftershock". They said that a lot of people are being sent to Cap Haitian on buses and trucks and they have unattended injuries and the hospitals there are already full. She said Cap Haitian, Milot and Limbe hospitals are full. They are praying that they can get their containers delivered. They have much needed supplies on them and they've just been sitting on the docks waiting for paperwork. Sigh...

J's O is working hard to get their kids out. I'm not really sure how the humanitarian parole works but some of the kids may come out even if they don't have adoptive parents. Please don't quote me on that as it's a huge question. We'd like to keep up with what happens to J's friend. And we still haven't heard about his birth mom. If anyone is interested, especially if you are "paper ready", let us know if you'd like info as it becomes available on how to adopt these kids who are not already in the process. Leave a comment with contact info or keep checking the HIS Home website at www.hishomeforchildren.com .

I've had people ask me if I'm angry that these kids are coming home all of a sudden after we waited for 4 years to get J home. My answer is NO. Any child coming home is good. I'm thankful that J was already home and I'm happy for these parents if the kids get to come home regardless of when they started the process.

We have been reading "Adopted and Loved Forever" at bedtime the last few nights. J is really into that book right now. The other night he asked me if adoption is really forever because he knew of a kid(s) that was sent back to Haiti. Last night he asked T if he did too many bad "tings" would he get sent back to Haiti. Oh my, squeeze our hearts a little. T told him no, that we love him. Then, wanting to lighten the mood, he told him that we might send his dirty underwear back but not him. J laughed and all was well. There is a lot going on in that head of his.

Things have changed for R and JT and she will not be leaving Friday as originally planned. Sigh...it will take a couple weeks or more to in process and a lot of things are still up in the air. I'll keep you posted.
