We're in Parquet!!! Praise God!!! Thank you Lord!!! Now please pray that we get out very quickly! :o) Please also pray that our dear friends Don & Teresa, & Cathy & Troy exit IBESR very soon & quickly enter Parquet so we can bring our children home at the same time. Thanks!
Just as a reminder to those of you not familiar with the Haitian adoption process I am reposting the steps I posted back in Nov. to show you what steps we have already gone through & what steps we still need to complete.
These are steps that are taken once our dossier reaches Haiti...which happened May 2007.

DHS
• Submit Orphan First Petition and birth parents interview happens, DNA testing is done if requested by DHS officer.
Justice of the Peace
• Judge issues a formal request for IBESR to exam potential adoptive family as permanent family for child.
IBESR• Family and child’s dossier are examined. 4 signatures required to exit.
Civil Judge• Issues official adoption decree.
Parquet• Social Representative (similar to a prosecutor in a US court), insures that the above departments have done everything legally.
Civil State Officer
• New birth certificate is issued.
Archive• Verifies all signature’s, certificate is issued. (Similar to being notarized)
Minister of Justice
• Above verifications are now legalized (similar to notary being authenticated).
Passports• Minister of Interior
Insures all of the above documents have not been falsified.

Congrats Kathy!!! So does that mean we get to have food next Thursday? :)
I am just so excited for you. By the way, I noticed huge improvements with Shakira this trip. And Samara finally looked at the camera for me. Caleb...well, he's just precious!!! Can't wait for them to be home with you.
you-you...totally understand about the back...at least you have a "good" reason for your back to hurt :o)
Thanks Lara & Sarah!
Angela...of course it means food! :o) Just let me know what you're in the mood for.
Gretchen said the same thing about Shakira. It makes me sooooooooooo happy!!! That's a big thing for Samara to look into the camera instead of run from it! Thanks again for my "viewing" of Caleb crawling & trying to walk. That was so wonderful!
Awesome news! praise the Lord! I am so happy your are moving steadily along in the process! Praying you get out of Parquet lightning quick!
Hugs!
