There were several families who recently had the opportunity to travel to Haiti and sent some pictures for us of our girls! We sent down some "baby proof" photo albums for the girls with pictures of Keith and I, Zach and Josh and Grandmas and Grandpas... so they can become familiar with our faces while they wait to come home. This is what you see Aliyah examining in some of the photos above.
As far as the adoption goes, we've gotten 1st Legal with Aliyah and are waiting to get into IBESR. We are still waiting on the abandonment decree for Christéla... the orphanage is going to have the Mayor come out since she has now been in their custody for seven months to see if he will go ahead and declare her abandoned. If this happens, then we can start the process of her adoption as well. PLEASE pray with us that the mayor will make this decision! Our agency is hopeful with us that this will happen - but are cautioning us that we "shouldn't get our hopes up too high" as it still may take a year...

I put that as a prayer request on my Christmas Wish List post yesterday on my adoption blog.
I can't believe how awesome she looks. I think I may have a picture as well from the last trip. Praying for that abandonment decree...Terry
Tana,
Thank you for sending me your blog spot. Your daughters are so beautiful! We will be praying the Lord will speed things up and will bring these precious children home and into your arms.
Love,
Jen for the Webers
