Ok, last I shared Jonas's first appointment in Haiti was suppose to be November 22nd. Well, as you have probably guessed by now, it didn't happen. They didn't have all of Jonas's paperwork done and ready by the date of the scheduled appointment. They rescheduled it for this past Monday November 27th.
I have been waiting on pins and needles to see how it went. Well...it didn't happen again! This time Gail actually called me because she didn't want me to get frustrated. She said there was a problem with Jonas's birthmom this time. Nothing bad. Evidently his mom went to another village with her church to help some people there over the weekend. Unfortunatly, their transportation broke down and she didn't make it back in time for the appointment.
So, does this bother me or make me worry? No. I'll tell you why.
First, his mom was helping other people. How can I ever be unset about that? And if you saw the kind of transportation they have in Haiti, you would understand it is VERY easy for them to break down.
Gail said that his mom is going to stay at the "O" till the next appoinment. Which will hopefully be this Friday.
The second reason I'm not upset is...I really feel like God is going to have Jonas and Manthania (my niece) come home at the same time. Her paperwork is taking a little longer, so it only makes sense to me that Jonas's would be delayed.
My girls have been praying all along that they would come home at the same time. Now I add my prayers to that request as well. I know that may seem insane to you. I am desperate for Jonas to be home, but I can be a little more patient in order for them to come home at the same time. What a HUGE blessing that would be for Todd and his brother!
Soooo, as soon as I hear something I will update my blog with all the info.
Hugs, Kristina

It's awesome to see you growing in this experience Kristina. You are trusting so much in God and His timing. What can I say besides, I'm proud of you sister!!!!
I am going to bring so many pics of Jonas back you won't know what to do with them all. I promise!!
I'm going to hold you to that promise!!!!
Well, this adoption has grown me in sooooo many ways I can't count. I'm a better person for it and our family is better too!!!
Kristina, the waiting is so hard but I love to see your faith. God is obviously giving you His patience- what an amazing blessing to experience that! Keep focusing on Him- you're doing great- much better than me for sure! :)
Your positive outlook on what could be a real "downer" reminds me of an old Clebe McClary Amway tape: P.A.T.C.H "Positive Attitude that Creates Hope."
Always remember the sage words that were said to me ... and I will now say them to you ... "Your child WILL come home to you, I promise."
Love,
Jodi
