First of all, someone has heard from Marie, the orphanage director, and she and the kids are still ok! Our friend, Jean Garry (who has been our driver/translator when we visit) has apparently helping her gather supplies for the kids.
We have been completely consumed with the efforts to raise money and generate support for expediting the adoptions in progress from Haiti. It is starting to sound really really positive!!! At this point we are hoping that our children are granted Humanitarian Parole, which would allow them to come home before the adoptions are finalized. There are rumors that some children are already en route... can't find confirmation of that though.
Basically, we have been told to wait by the phone/computer, gather money for remaining fees, and be ready to travel at a moments' notice. Can you imagine??? We are holding our breath right now. Keep those prayers and good thoughts coming!!!
By the way, we have raised almost $13,000 so far! We are SOOOO grateful. We know that in the coming weeks, months, and probably years to come, the orphanage will need sustained support. We are vowing to do just that, long after Stanley is home (which could maybe actually finally be soon!!!).
