In April 2011 I became Millie's god mother and 2 years later became her legal guardian and mom. Millie just had her 11th birthday and we have taken on the world of Haiti together but have not been able to travel together because her adoption has been sitting in process for 8 years. We have ran into the hardest obstacles, have overcome them step by step but not without many tears and frustrations. Haiti has become incredibly dangerous and leaving her to go to the USA is devastating to us both each time.
BUT WE ARE ALMOST DONE!
Millie and I have been waiting a long time to be considered a LEGAL family on paper, be able to travel to the USA and be done with paperwork that keeps us apart. We have just a few more steps but with the end in sight we have a bill with our amazing lawyer and the last costs for her birth certificate, passport and visa to be concerned with.
We need your help.. I know that I have an amazing support network of people who love me and Millie so I am humbly asking for your help. Every dollar helps and gets us closer to the next season of our lives, being a "real" family. Please consider giving but PLEASE pray without ceasing because these hurdles have been MANY and we are so ready!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for all your support first and foremost. We have raised over $1,000 to date. Right now we are STILL waiting on the police headquarters in Haiti to finish with my background check. I requested it in April... and they spelled my name wrong which was another 2 week wait time... and then... they didn’t have all the information (which was on the papers I submitted 6 weeks ago) and its a holiday week which means no one really shows up for work. So as of now it’s the LAST piece of paper we need before we re-submit... so we are still waiting.
While we are waiting I came to the USA to bring back more of our things and start setting up for the final stages of our transition. Trying to stay positive & hopeful. Please continue to pray for us. I will be back in Haiti soon to continuing to press on!
