We received some exciting news yesterday - it's time to travel to Haiti to file our I-600! While we're still not out of IBESR, they think it's best we get this step out of the way so we're ready when it happens. The exciting news is that we finally get to meet her. I was so excited yesterday that I couldn't think or do much of anything else. Yet somehow I managed to consume and entire frozen pizza without tasting a bite. (I didn't feel good the rest of the day. Bleck.)
Of course it's not as simple as getting an email and instantly booking our flights. We're still waiting to hear the WHEN and HOW. It's going to be a whirlwind trip. But I get to hold my baby.
Equally exciting is that Jason will get to experience Haiti. Ever since I've gotten back I've wanted him to experience the country, COTP, and all the children. Oh my, he's going to get an experience for sure! We'll fly into CAP, spend a day with the little girl and all the other kids, then fly to PAP the following morning to file our paperwork. Just a few days - but Jason's feet will be in Haiti.
Please pray that we hear when we'll be traveling by next week so we can make arrangements. Please pray too that all the files that are 'stuck' in IBESR are signed and move to the next stage quickly. Along with our little girl, there are hundreds of children who are waiting to go home.
It still hasn't sunk in. Yesterday's euphoria has been replaced with lots of questions. And I've got the weekend to just think about it all.
Hopefully we get more news on Monday so I can sleep again. And stop eating entire pizzas.
That's so exciting! Glad you are getting that I600 out of the way too!! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteKaren, I am thrilled about the motion that is happening. I know that it's "Haiti time" but it's motion. God has a plan. His plan. There are reasons for the waiting. I don't know the reasons but God does. (I love the song that is playing on your site right now. "It is Well With My Soul".) Love you...your eldest sis.
