The new president has been announced and some of the Haitian people are not happy. Not happy Haitians equals riots. Riots equal Port au Prince shut down completely which means all roads closed and no courts open. No flights in or out either. Today will be spent getting the plans for tomorrow in order.
Madam Lucine has been given half of the money up front to get the ball rolling. She knows a judge and is trying to contact him today to get Ooley's process first on the docket for tomorrow. Ooley's birth mother must be present as well as Dr. Jack and the attorneys from Chances For Children where Ooley will be moved. Daniel will be in contact with everyone needed today to make sure everyone is where they need to be for tomorrow.
I talked to Daniel this morning and he said they were working on plans of where Ooley can stay for tonight and if needed a few extra nights as well. He may be held at Mission of Hope, but Otis has said that if that's not possible then they will just gather supplies and take Ooley to the hotel with them. Although that sounds nice and all, I don't think that would be easy for Daniel and I think he may not want to come home after spending the night with Ooley. If the documents and court process cannot be completed within the next day or so, we will have people helping wrap that up for us after Daniel returns. We have been so blessed with contacts who are trustworthy and are willing to help us when needed.
Chances For Children's new location is located in Port au Prince so there is no way that Ooley will be able to transferred there today. But regardless, he will be taken to a place with great care and be loved on! I'm sure he will be super happy to see his Daddy today! It's pretty amazing how he already loves Daniel, God is cool like that.
As of now, we are not sure if flights will be open for Daniel's trip home tomorrow. I will keep you posted with all I know when I know it. Please continue to pray for safety and health as things there are pretty crazy right now. It's not easy on Daniel to be handling all this, but we know God is our strength!
We cannot thank Otis and all the people of Mission of Hope enough! We cannot express our gratitude enough for everyone who is with Chances For Children who is helping us! We are SO thankful for them and for each of you! Thanks for your continued prayers and support! The adoption process will begin as soon as we can get Ooley moved and get the paperwork started. If you are able and interested in helping with the funding you can make a donation into the Amber and Daniel Johnson Adoption fund at any Communication Federal Credit Union location, or can give through paypal by clicking the link on this blog. Prayers mean A LOT, and we really appreciate each one!
Love you all and look forward to sharing more great news with you!
