This adoption would be paid for if I received a quarter for every time someone asked, "Why does it have to take so long?"
Haiti is trying. They unfortunately do not have a first world government in place and things take a long time. Timeframes are unexplainable and unpredicatable. Another family who is adopting from our orphanage got their papers there one month before us and they are almost ready to bring their little boy home. We still probably have a year to go! There is not a whole lot of rhyme or reason.
We are confident that Dieunifer is being well taken care of. She is happy and growing right now. A family can provide her with the individual care, love and attention that she might not be getting with 150 other kids. Hopefully, the system will move a little. Whenever our file gets out of IBESR we will make our first trip to Haiti...for about 4 -5 days. Because we have biological children, we need that extra signature from the President of Haiti. Rumor has it that he signs in piles. Hopefully our file is in that pile and he will sign before the end of the year.
Other families are moving a little and children are starting to come home. In the meantime, Dieunifer is starting to speak more and more Creole so we really should start learning some!
