We're plannning to adopt Droiy

We found out a few months ago that Ben's little sister (Jenny) has a brother in Haiti who is 2 years old. He is in the same orphanage she was in when she was first adopted. We contacted the orphanage and told them we want to adopt him - his name is Droiy.
Dr Bernard, who runs the orphanage, has told us we are too young. Haitian law says you must be 35 and be married 10 years to adopt a child. However, sometimes exceptions are granted by the government. Dr Bernard believes in miracles and so do we! We have faith that God will allow us to adopt and that the Institute of Well-Being and Research (IBESR-in French) will grant us an exception if it is His will.

Please pray with us as we start this process. It is expensive and time consuming, but we can’t wait to be parents of this beautiful little boy!
