Update from Paul Pennington in Haiti

I just talked with Paul Pennington on the phone.  There are two pieces of information that I want to pass along:

1. Paul spent 30 minutes on the phone with the czar of the Haiti task force from the State Department.  This morning the Haitian government came out & said that only children in the process of being adopted will be allowed to be released. He said that even if Hillary Clinton were to issue a special parole designation for the double orphans in Haiti they still would not be allowed to leave.
2. There has been a rumor going around that if a Haitian child has a sibling in the U.S. then they will be allowed to leave.  Paul said this is not the case (unless that sibling is in the process of being adopted per item #1 above). 

Please continue to pray that the Lord would: 

1. Move so that children who have been separated from their family would be reunited & for those who are desperately trying to match kids with parents & extended family in Haiti.
2. Move on behalf of the children who have lost family & have no one to care for them…that families would be raised up to care for them & not only for them but for the millions of others around the globe that are waiting for families.

Be sure to check back for more updates. 

Here are a few of the children in the orphanage that Paul has been advocating for.
