HAITIAN PROCESS FOR THE DOSSIER

SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE ASKED ABOUT THE PROCESS OF THE ADOPTION… HOW MUCH LONGER?  HOW MUCH MORE MONEY, ETC… SO… HERE IS THE BREAKDOWN THAT I GOT FROM THE ORPHANAGE…

FIRST OF ALL, WE HAVE ANOTHER $2000 LEFT FOR OUR PRAYER HOLD AND $3800 LEFT FOR THE ATTORNEY IN HAITI.  WE HAVE AN UPCOMING MEDICAL MISSION  TRIP TO HAITI ON MAY 1ST THAT ROB AND I WILL BE GOING ON.  WE HAVE ANOTHER $1000 LEFT TO FOR THAT.  OTHER THAN THOSE THREE THINGS, WE WILL JUST HAVE TRAVELING EXPENSES WHEN WE GO DOWN TO DO “OFFICIAL ADOPTION BUSSINESS” AND MEET WITH THE ATTORNEY.

OK, HERE IS THE BREAKDOWN OF THE TIME IT USUALLY TAKES TO ADOPT… KEEP IN MIND THIS IS WHEN THE COUNTRY IS STABLE.
