Berline January 2012 Update

Berline is healthy and growing:


Height: 120 cm


Weight: 50 lb
I can't get over how cute and smiley she is!  I want to kiss that face all over!  They gave us her height this time.  She is 2 inches taller than Bo.  We thought she looked tall, but you can never tell from pictures.  She is taking Creole/French classes in the morning and English classes in the afternoon.  That would be difficult for any 6 year old.  I know I would get confused.  We have bought a few books and CDs to learn a little Creole.  That should help with her transition.  Although I am sure the Creole will have a little Okie twang to it, so it may not help as much as we hope :) 

We are in the Dispensation stage of our paperwork.  That basically means we need permission from the President of Haiti to adopt her, because we don't meet the guidelines (such as no biological children).  Please continue to pray with us as we wait.
