Every step in this process is a big deal, but this step is like a giant leap! There is no exact address for Good Samaritan, so it has been difficult to find individuals to help us check on Ooley without being able to send them to the right place. Today we got a very good description of the exact location of Good Samaritan. This has been a vital piece for us in our process of having someone check on Ooley for us soon!
The even more amazing part is that we got word today that Ooley is definitely legally adoptable! We have been told that Madam Lucine who runs the Good Samaritan where Ooley lives has all the needed documents to allow Ooley to be adopted. The next important step is for Madam Lucine to release her rights and allow us to have Ooley's documents and move him to another orphanage. This convincing will require face to face meetings where deals and money or compensation will be necessary as well. Again, we will do whatever it takes to bring our son home!
Contacts are being made at Mission of Hope and we are hoping to hear more good news soon! JR, the children's pastor at MOH, knows Madam Lucine very well and is being contacted to see if he will be able to help us in dealing with her. His help would be great! Daniel will be returning to Haiti as soon as arrangements can be made to get some things moving and meet with Madam Lucine. Although we would both like to return, it would require twice as much funding for two people and we would like to use our funds wisely in this adoption process. We are so appreciative of our contacts with Mission of Hope, and are confident that Daniel will be in the best company and safe while traveling and in Haiti. Daniel's trip will hopefully be able to be coordinated with Otis from Mission of Hope who has been an amazing help in our process. If you know Otis, please tell him that you are a part of our support in bringing Ooley home, and take time to show him your apprecitation for helping us. :)
We will keep you posted with every bit of info we get. Please believe with us for all the details to be worked out in God's perfect way and timing. We are believing that Madem Lucine's heart is being softened and that she will be very easy to deal with. We are believing that Ooley is and will remain safe and healthy through the cholera outbreak and any other illness that may be a threat. We are believing for favor with contacts, organizations, and government officials needed to help this process. And we are believing for peace in our lives as we have an eager longing to bring Ooley home from Haiti!
Celebrate with us in every step! Now is a great time for a happy dance, a belly laugh, and absolutely a big THANK YOU GOD!
Each of you who are following our process are a huge part too. Thanks for your prayers and support! Keep it going, things are happening and God is Good!
