In Haiti, adoptive parents must receive presidential approval, or dispensation, to adopt if biological children already exist within the family. For the first time since taking office, Mr. Martelly has signed 80 dispensations for orphans, moving them through the IBESR and allowing lots of forever families to be formed! One of these families posted that their dossier went into IBESR in May of 2010 . . . eek. We're praying that this is the beginning of getting the ball rolling again for Haitian adoptions.
I'm wondering about our spring 2012 timeline now. What if our dossier goes into IBESR and falls into a black hole for 12-18 months? It really isn't within our control and I keep telling myself that God's timeline is what matters, not my own. But what if we go through the 2nd legal process and get a call for a court date during volleyball season next year?! (Holy panic.)
Well, the blessing is that families are being joined and children from Haiti are getting homes outside of their orphanages. A lovely adoptive mom preparing to meet her child in Uganda soon posted "Bless his little heart - his world is about to be rocked!" No kidding sister! Amen :)
