Haiti Prayer Requests

****
UPDATE 9/26: The storm has past Haiti with a lot less rain than was feared! However now it is officially named storm Kyle. It is now North of Haiti, headed further North, possible to hit the NE US or Canada in a couple days. Thank you for your prayers on that. No updates on the other items, so those are still on my request list.

OK prayer warriors: Of the many prayer needs on my list currently, here are some of the most pressing prayer needs, relating to Haiti:

• Haiti is getting hit by another storm this week. It's not organized enough to be a tropical depression yet, so it's unnamed at this point. It's just an "tropical wave" - whatever that means. But, it is a large storm, and it is dumping a lot of rain on the island. That's the last thing they need right now. Praying that it moves past or dissipates quickly.

• Praying for the three girls from E & J's orphanage, and their two adoptive families, who've been waiting in IBESR since late last fall. They so need to get out so the girls can move on in the process, so they can come home ASAP.

• Praying for Parquet approvals for many (17?) from our orphanage, including Elijah & Josephine. And for the many other children/adoptive families in various steps in the process.

• Praying that Elijah's mom and Josephine's dad can be located, proper IDs located or obtained, so that their birth parent interviews can be scheduled at the embassy. This is the next step to the US side of our process that can be going on at the same time as the Haiti side of things (currently Parquet). This is one of the requirements for them to get their US Visa. More on this when we find out the date(s) of the interview appointments.

There are many others on my list, but I need to get to bed. I just wanted to get these out there now that my internet service is back up - it's been out all evening - and typing/editing on the blackberry isn't fun...
