Yesterday morning when I was praying I asked God that Dania not be something that God had placed before me but that I would never see fulfilled. I was beginning to wonder if he was testing me in some way and I might not see this dream realized. It is not uncommon for adoptions to have major snags and sometimes the end results are hard to swallow. Anyway, we had a regular day of school and then I sat down at the computer to email my facilitator. I had just pulled out the keyboard when the phone rang and it was her. She said she had great news and that my file was finally signed out of parquet and on the move to MOI. The bad news was that my file was signed out a year ago and got locked in a file cabinet when there was a personnel change. She told me that she chewed them out for me for being so inconsiderate, but at that point I was just so elated that nothing was wrong with our paperwork and that we were on the move again.
My timeline from now is tentatively 2-6 months in MOI and then 1-2 months in passports and then we are on our way to pick her up. Of course something could hold us up again, but hopefully I won't fall into another abyss. So rejoice with us today because we are very happy!

Thank you Jesus!!! That is awsome news Catrina! :)
Praise God!!! Finally! doing a happy dance for you and your family.
I am so happy for you! I am a friend of Christy Fritz's and like to keep up with your blog every so often and I'm glad I checked today! We were stuck in Parquet for 11 months so I know the wait is hard...I am so glad you are out, but so ill they locked your file up!! That's Haiti for you, huh?! :)
I don't know if you plan to go to file your I-600 in Haiti or not, but it's a great idea. We did and it made the visa part soooo much faster...like 3 days! Some people are waiting right now for months to get I-600 approval and the visas issued. It's worth a thought..ask me more if you want to...Congrats!!!
Thanks everyone. Laurie we have already filed our I-600, we did it a year ago on some pilot program that was being offered. I hope it works out. How long did you wait in MOI?
We were only in MOI for 1 1/2 months. Maybe that will be your case too!!!
As someone else who is adopting from Haiti... I'd like to say congratulations. Is there an update on your status? We just found out Sunday that after 1.5 years in the process, we are finally out of MOI. We'd love to go down to Haiti to file the I-600, but can't really afford it... is it still taking months in the US, or has anyone had any other experience?
Sorry, We just got out of Parquet not MOI.
