As I sit here for the last 2 hours in the waiting room of my doctors office, I realize this is a good time to write an update. Many of you have written and asked if we've received an answer by our missions doctors.
We have received word that our doctors are considering our case. That's good news in that they didn't immediately dismiss our request upon receiving the medical reports. But they are now checking with a contact in Canada to see if Canada would grant him a medical card upon coming to Quebec. This will be a small miracle considering the fact that we are Visitors in Canada adopting a Haitian child with severe Cerebral Palsy. :) But we know that anything is possible with God if it is His will to work in this way. So we ask you to keep praying.
Good News: In the last month, Robert, Haley, Maleah and I have had the opportunity to raise money for the adoption on 3 different occasions. From these 3 fundraisers, we have almost enough raised to pay for the homestudy, which will hopefully take place sometime this summer. Because we are Americans in Quebec, we have to fly a social worker from our agency in Colorado to Quebec to handle the homestudy. The cost of flights, hotel and food expense, of course, makes the process even more expensive than we thought at first. But God is faithful and is providing the finances thru many peoples generosity. Thank-you for praying for this aspect of the adoption also.
I am a friend of Robin Vermeer Bobo's and just found out about your desire to adopt. Just wanted to let you know that I will be praying for the Lord's will to be done in all of this. God bless you all.
