Another referral showed up today – hopefully more to follow as the day progresses.  My excitement is abounding with how things are progressing and that we are closing in on bringing Julia home.

Also watching the happenings in Haiti, I would just as soon not have my child on the other side of the world.  My prayer is that the Haitian government will release the children who have been in paperwork limbo in their system to come home sooner rather than later.

Maybe as the walls have crumbled, so will the red tape that many families have been enduring in getting their children home. After all, our God works all things for the good of those who love him.  He trades beauty for ashes.  I saw a Haitian mother on the news last night who dug her three children by hand out of their devastated home, had to wait a couple of days for medical treatment for their injuries, held her 9-year-old son while he had a huge gash stitched up without anesthetic and said, “I know that there is a God and He loves me because I still have my children.”
