The Becker bunch and their every day trials and tribulations x 7!

Growing from 4 to 7 in just ten days has proven to be both challenging, enlightening, frustrating, overwhelming and most often pretty funny. It is always better to laugh than to cry!

Newest Photo!

Mike returned from Haiti and sent out new photos at the end of last week. This is our little doll! So healthy and happy.

There was some progress made in terms of standards of practice and getting the government and adoption agencies and orphanages to sign on to a set of policies that will allow some uniformity and relieve some of the stress. Without it the government fears that less than honorable intentions may be hurting Haitian children. I dont know that this will help us as we are further along in the process, but we are all for anything that will help Haitian children find loving forever homes. There is also some progress on the new Haitian law, but again this wont really help us.
Our case file remains at the President's office #17. We are hoping that it will be signed soon and we can move on to the courts and further.

Thank you to all of you who pray and hope with us each day!

2/9 Update

Good Afternoon friends and family!

I was so busy with the MS play that I forgot to update last week. The Beckers logged 12 miles last week and 25 miles this week. We also got 15 miles from C Hiddleston.

So we are adding 42 this week.

Our program director was in Haiti last week and we are expecting new photos soon. THat is always a mixed blessing. We love to see our girl but seeing her grow up is hard. We learned that we are case #17 in the president's cabinet, waiting for a signature. There is no way to tell how long that will take.

I promise another update soon!
