As far as our family is concerned, we still feel called to adopt from Haiti despite the possibility that Haiti could tell us no. We found out not long after applying with GLA that our chances were good but not guaranteed. Apparently the old adoption law still stands that says you cannot have more than 2 children. Well, GLA said go ahead with your paperwork because you have adopted from Haiti before. We prayed about the possibility that we would get a referral and then Haiti would say no to us. Although that would be devastating, we still felt called to try to adopt. So we have been compiling our paperwork and we just completed our homestudy. Then....
We received an email from GLA stating that the new adoption law that is in the works does not say anything about how many children you have! That is amazing! So our chances look even better and we didn't waste any time waiting. I am so excited that the new adoption law is much more lenient. I am excited that we can recommend Haiti to others again. I hope that thousands of orphans are adopted!
