Haiti time beats to a different drum

We are learning Haiti time is definitely different than our time. Also learning that things there are way less organized and structured than here too. The birth mom has been to court, but some other things are needed. Bobby will be traveling back to her home town with her to get her original birth certificate and returning with it to Port au Prince. This will take approximately three days travel for them at our expense. Once she arrives back to Port au Prince, the birth mom will go to social services and sign her final document to release her rights. Then Ooley can be moved into Chances For Children finally.

Dr. Jack is the CFC director and must be present for Ooley's move. He returns to the U.S. in a week...actually 6 days now. We must get the birth mom to finish up the things needed quickly in order to move Ooley soon. Otherwise, we would have to wait until Dr. Jack's next trip and don't know when that would be. Things are still moving....just very slowly it seems. Things seem to change literally every day as far as what is needed and who needs to be where to make this transfer possible.

Please continue to pray for this situation. Also for Ooley to adapt easy to all that is going on. We won't be trying to figure out anything regarding the rumor of an older brother until Ooley is secure in CFC.

The financial strain has begun, but we know that God has a plan. If you have fundraising ideas, please contact me asap amber@salonendeavor.com . You can donate by clicking the link on this blog or can go to any Communication Federal Credit Union and make a deposit into the Amber and Daniel Johnson Adoption Fund. Most important is your continued prayers.

It's hard to understand the emotional side of this process unless you are in it. Please understand that we are very excited about all that is going on, but are also dealing with a lot of emotions as well. That is the main reason for this blog. Please share this blog with anyone who would like to follow our adoption process. Answering hundreds of questions a day about it is not emotionally easy. Please understand that we really do appreciate each of you and your support. Thanks so much, we love you all!
