We got a phone call Friday telling us that the Hatian government has determined that Wandley and his half brother (with whom he lived until 2yrs old when they both entered the orphanage) would not be split up. This was, in our opinion, great news for Wandley. We want him to be with his brother and discovered that a confusing mix-up when interring the orphanage is the reason they were not together. The end of the foggy and long story is that our referral was revoked and we will not be adopting Wandley.
Strange that it feels like a sad loss when we are so happy for him. It is our desire that siblings stay together and now they get to. We would have done everything we could to help the boys have a relationship, but now they will be true brothers for life. I just wish we could give him a hug and bless him on his way to his new family. Maybe he will still be there when we go to visit.
As for the process for us, we will hear in 3 or 4 weeks about new kids entering the orphanage. We know God already knows our kids and is caring for them and for us.

Yup. God knows the rest of your families names already. Have I mentioned I am praying for multiples for you? Tripletts maybe?
God is amazing and does some mighty things. What a wonderful thing that Wandley was put in your life so you can pray for him. Can't wait to see your referral. I'm just catching up now. God Bless you!!
