I was interviewed on the radio tonight http://www.1590wonx.com/ regarding the Haitian adoption issues.
I spoke of the continued long delayed waits for files to go through the Ministry of Interior and how the slow down is affecting the adopting families and the adopted children who are waiting in limbo.
I am glad that a radio station is taking this on! Also, the issue with the visas were discussed too, i.e. how our own Department of Homeland Security and Department of State failed to communicate with each other, resulting in delays in visa issuing.
I also spoke about how it is taking an emotional toll on the adopted children who finally have a family, but they cannot join that family because of the MOI waits to get the files signed and passports issued.

My own computer is still in the shop. I have so many more photos to post and cannot because they are on that computer hardrive!
My weightloss is going well. I have been so "good" with sticking to my 1,200 calories per day diet and I am working out again at the gym. Once I am at my goal weight (which will probably take until March 2008), I will post some before-and-after photos.
