Here we go!!!!!!!

Here's the latest news! Ooley's birth mom is in Port Au Prince and has met with Mr. Beetoven (an attorney for Chances For Children) once this week. They are supposed to be meeting in the court Friday for her to sign all the documents needed to release Ooley. The birth mom is 22 years old and the birth father passed away due to an illness. Bobby allowed the birth mom to see Ooley once he was confident that she would not try to stop the adoption process. I'm still not sure how that went. But Bobby says he sees no possible problems.

We were also informed that Ooley has a 5 year old brother at Good Sam as well. We will be having someone small talk with the brother and ask if he has any siblings. If he knows that Ooley is his brother and knows that he has been moved from Good Sam, we could be looking at adopting him as well. The situations in Haiti are much different than here, and it's very possible that he doesn't know he has siblings. We've said from the beginning that we won't split up siblings. So, if they know about each other then we will do what we feel is best and not split them up. As scary of a thought that it might be to deal with Madem Lucine again and to possibly be adopting another child, we will follow our hearts on this one whichever way that might be.

Madem Lucine has proven to not be completely honest, but she no longer has any power to stop things at this point. She hasn't given money to birth mom as we had agreed. Everything is a money issue with Madem Lucine now, and that's okay because we can still move forward with or without her help. We still owe her some money and will follow through will our end, as it's the honest thing to do.

The way things are looking right now, Ooley will be moved to his new home for the adoption process at Chances For Children on Friday! That means the official adoption process can begin! We have contacted the adoption agency and are getting the ball rolling on the U.S. end now too! I've told them that our goal is to have Ooley here at home before next Christmas. They told me that although that seems to be a "lofty goal", let's get on it and shoot for it! They must not understand how amazing my God is, or they would know that this is going to be the most amazingly quick and simple adoption process they will ever have handled! Plus, we have ALL of you backing us up in prayer too!

Financial funds are going to be needed quickly, so if you have fundraising ideas or would like to make a donation please let us know! Thanks for all your prayers and support!

Let's get this going! HERE WE GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
