Days the adoption paperwork has been in Haiti for processing:
.....897 (we were told at the time 9-12 months or 270 to 360 days)
Days the Schlorf's have been living in Haiti with Lou:
.....457 (we thought no more than one year which we thought was unrealistically long)
Days waiting for the passport in Haitian Immigration:
.....15 working days (after an expected 2-3 days as stated by the orphanage director three times)
Days waiting for the passport in Haitian Immigration for the second attempt due to lost paperwork:
.....3-4 whole days (depending on when it was actually dropped off)
We have just realized that we have been here for more than half of the whole adoption process, as far as the paperwork being in Haiti. We rest in knowing that the Lord's plans are more well-conceived than our own (perfectly conceived). God is good! All the time!
Comparison
This is a good reminder about comparing (it is related to disabled children, but can be applied to everything, including how longs other have to wait to complete an adoption in Haiti).
Beetle
This hit our window last night and we thought it was a bird. It buzzed around a little so we picked it up and played with it. It was hard as a rock (almost) and clunked around inside the container. We let him go after about an hour.

Found this on someone's blog the other day and thought it was a good quote: "There is your plan for your life, and God’s plan for your life, and your plan doesn’t really count."
Have a good day. Hope you hear something GOOD this week.

That's a great quote, Jan! If we could see all what God sees, we would want it His way anyway and our way would be His way. But since we can't, we are left to have faith in Him and in Him alone.
