July 27th - Haiti Update

We got to Haiti yesterday morning. American Airline upgraded our tickets to Business/First Class. --- Yeah! :-) --- They are super nice to me everytime I fly.

Today, we went to MOI...because we did not get there until about 10 a.m. there were too many reps from other orphanages in front of us that we did not get much accomplished. We did get one dossier signed out though. :-)

There were about 30 dossiers signed out to Immigration today. I asked the guy who carries them to Immigration if he was taking them right now? He said, "Yes." --- So, there will be some happy families.

MOI has gotten super picky regarding birth certificates and death certificates. Some dossiers are rejected over simple document dates...for example, if the child's birthcertificate was issued when the child was first born...and the child is a toddler now...they want a new "more formal" birth certificate now.

Also, lots more orphanage reps were at MOI today then I had seen during my previous MOI visits.

My girls are doing well. Tamarah went swimming for the first time today and she did not like it at all! :-)

Joshua and Teddy are doing well, especially since they got to go swimming today. They are looking forward to the beach next weekend.
