Haiti Update

Salvation Army has reached the orphanage, and they now have water and food to last a few more days. Praise God for this.

But there are several babies there who need special medication and other urgent attention, so their need is still very dire.

The amazing news is that all the official "boxes" have been checked to evacuate all of these orphans--recall that they had already been matched to adopting families in the US.

Only 2 boxes remain: The Secretary of State needs to approve this evacuation, and so does the President of Haiti.

I do not know what would go into Clinton's calculus for deciding, but on the Haiti end, we recall that this President is not a very good man, and that he doesn't care much about the welfare of his people and that part of the reason the adoption process takes so long is that his government milks thousands upon thousands of dollars out of the adopting families under the guise of 'paper work.'

Whether he will let these children--and the cash they represent--go without another cent spent is a matter for prayer.

Please pray that both leaders will sign off on this and that these children will join their "forever families" in just a few days.
