We received many pics yesterday of our little angel. You can tell how tiny he is in them, and that he has lost weight. But those beautiful brown eyes just sparkle.

We are hoping his paperwork made it to 1st legalization. For all of those that are wondering what happens over in Haiti, here is a run down of the procedures:

1st legalization 6-8 weeks
IBESR 3-5 months
Minister of Justice 2-4 weeks
Parquet 2 weeks-2 months
Moi ??
Immigration/passport 2 weeks-2 months

The time frames can change but this is an approximate timeline!

There are suppose to be some missionaries coming to the orphanage, and we been told that they will solely be caring for our baby. We are still praying though that either God will bring him home on a medical visa or that He will heal him if He wants him to stay in Haiti a little while longer.

The orphanage is also having a hard time getting the needs that they have, since one of their main sources was through Gonaives, Haiti which was flooded from the recent hurricanes. The orphanage is in need of many items; such as:

Things the orphanage needs right now:
photo printing paper
Plastic mattress covers for the cribs
Lacto free formula,
Nutramagin formula
Black Print cartridge, we use number 96 and are on our last one,
colour cartidges number 95
when we print out photos we also use a colour print cartridge that is no. 99, we are on our last one of those
baby cereal
Diapers!!! Especially newborn, size 1, and size 2, but also some bigger

Things they always need:
• Similac, Lacto-free, and Soy powder formula
• Enfamil AR formula, Pregestimil or Alimentum
• Disp. diapers, all sizes especially size newborn, 1, 2 , and 3
• Liquid Pediasure
• Infant Iron drops
• Antibiotic Cream
• Fungal Cream (clotramizole)
• Diflucan and Nystatin
• Hand sanitizer
• Disinfecting wipes (like Clorox wipes or equiv.)
• Regular bottles, no extra nipples needed (please no "special" bottles)
• Mountable oscillating fans
• Liquid antibacterial hand soap
• ELIMITE "Permethin" 5% cream
• Baby cereal/baby foods

Life!

Our baby is not doing the best! He has just been so sick lately and it is so frustrating and dishearting to have him so many miles away. And here I am and I can't hold him, tell him I love him, and take his hurts away!
I am just praying that God will either allow him to come home on a medical visa or that He will heal him!
