We made it through the next office!! We got out in just under a month! We are so amazed, but shouldn't be as God knows what He wants to do and when He wants to do it!! We are now in step 4 of 6! Who knows with the rest - it can still take forever...Here are the steps (IN BOLD IS WHAT WE HAVE LEFT):
- First Legalization
- IBESR (Haitian Social Services)
- Parquet (Civil Court)
- Second Legalization (Ministry of Justice) - Maybe another 1-4 weeks
- Minister of Interior Affairs - Apparently supposed to take 1-3 months but 5-6 is more like it)
- Haitian Immigration (Passport) - From what I hear, it is supposed to take days or weeks, but apparently the US adoptions have been taking up to 5 months, whereas the Canadians get their VISAS in 24 hours and the French in under a week. The employees at the US Consulate are holding things up because of their disdain for international adoption. People are praying for change in either the staff or the hearts of the staff!
