Frustration

Last week we received an email from our adoption case worker. It was not good news. She told that starting in 2009, Haiti is raising the age requirements of adoptive parents from 30 to 35. This was a devastating blow, to say the least. Our facilitator in Hait recommended that we write a letter to the Hatian child welfare dept. explaining our situation, and basically beg them to allow us to proceed with the adoption. So that is our only hope, and who knows if it will work or not. Uggghhhh.

Hi Alisha,

I'm very sorry to hear about your news. That seems so silly! Who cares about the age, the fact that you guys will love and cherish this little girl like your own should be the only basis for adoption! We'll be praying for you!

God has a plan for you Berrys and I know it is just great! Please let us know if we can help in any way- I don't know what we can do- but we are so happy to help! Of course we are praying for you guys and your new little one to be. Much love to you!
