Update

At the time being, the US is only granting visas to kids who were matched with families before the quake hit. Obviously, we do not qualify. Our local agency was trying to be proactive in lining up more matches in the hopes that the US will extend that offer to such cases b/c the need is so dire. This was new info to me... I had understood that children who could be matched with homestudied families would be granted visas as well.

So- at this point, we cannot adopt a Haitian child for those reasons. Our intn'l agency is not in favor either though. Haven't heard a final word on it, but it would have to be the Lord making a way where there seems to be none.

That's OK... we trust God is in complete control. But I have to say, this is frustrating to our hearts. It's very difficult to see desperate need, to feel prepared and called to do exactly this sort of thing in life, and yet not be able to.

Thank you all for praying and for encouraging and loving us. I'm so grateful. Please keep praying for Haiti.
