April update

Got our monthly update pic!! No posing or smiles this time.

MOI

This morning I got an email letting us know that our file went to MOI yesterday. This is GREAT news!! According to ABI's website, MOI consists of the following:

Ministry of the Interior All international adoption cases are reviewed by the Ministry of Interior. In order to obtain authorization to request a passport, the following documents must be submitted for each child: Four passport sized pictures Birth Certificate Attestation for the Birth Certificate Extract from the National Archives for the Birth Certificate Relinquishment Proces Verbal of adoption Adoption approval judgement Adoption Decree Attestation of the Adoption Decree Power of Attorney for creche director and/or attorney Stamp from DGI Notary letter for the passport Identification card of facilitator and/or attorney on the case Biological parents' identification cards Adoptive parents' MOI form, identification, and passport photos. The Ministry of Interior will grant authorization to submit the dossier to Haitian Immigrations for a passport.

Love that last part.... We are getting so close!! I have no timeline as to how long it will be. I know someone who has spent 4 weeks at MOI. I also know people who have spent way over 4 months at MOI. Every case is different. Please pray with us that we move through quickly and get these kids home!!
