A Ray of Light Through the Clouds

Last night, Chicago got hit with one crazy storm. Amanda and I both received alerts every five minutes- flash flood watch, tornado watch, flash flood warning, thunderstorm warning, tornado warning. It was a wild night. No matter how dark and scary it could have been, the sun still came up.

Similarly, although everything isn’t great, there are small steps of progress in Haiti. First of all, if you are unaware, Kenyan police landed in Haiti and started working to retake the capital, Port-au-Prince. Also, yesterday we got news from our adoption agency that there is more progress in the realm of adoption for Haiti. They shared “Intercountry Adoption Update July 12, 2024 Currently, all Haitian government offices that have adoption functions are open and operating. This includes Haiti’s child welfare authority (IBESR), Haitian Immigration, and the Ministries of Justice, Foreign Affairs, and the Interior, all of which review and legalize adoption documents including adoption decrees.” There were many more details to the update, but the news is simply that things are slowly opening back up. Hopefully, this is a sign for us that progress will be made, and we are closer to getting matched with our child. So please continue to pray, and hopefully we can see more sunlight at the end of this long tunnel. Lord, hear our prayer.
