Conleigh update

Kids are still sleeping outside under tarps. A Mennonite construction group is coming to evaulate the orphange soon. A few of the older kids seem to be getting sick so they are going to be assessed soon. Another adoptive mom heard from her Senator's aide that all of our paperwork had been processed but none of us know exactly what this means. Melinda went to the Embassy today with kids in tow. We thought for a moment or two that maybe our kids would be on the list getting travel documents but apparently the Embassy in PAP needs fingerprint records from the three families. I have no idea if Melinda actually has Parole paperwork for all three kids or not. The Embassy was supposed to be requesting the necessary paperwork from DC and told Melinda to keep coming back. So tomorrow she'll be back. And we'll keep riding the "maybe today, maybe tomorrow, maybe next week train."

On a positive note, 127 kids flew to the US today. The Haitian government approved their exits. Only a handful were FHG kids. But at least kids are leaving which is much better than the 5 day political stalemate that was occuring.

Praying Conleigh is leaving for home soon. It just makes so much sense for a country that needs the space to care for the newly orphaned.
