From Haiti 2 Home (T-Shirts)

Received our "From Haiti 2 Home" T-shirts in the mail today. These t-shirts were being sold as a fundraiser by an adoptive mom in the Haiti adoption Facebook group.  Love these shirts and the message! Me and the hubby both purchased one. Would like to wear them when we travel to Haiti.

Free stuff is always nice :)

So in three days (March 23rd), it will be two months since our dossier arrived in Haiti.  Seems like an eternity even though I know it could be another four months or more before we hear anything about our referral.  I wonder what they are doing with our paperwork right now. What is going on?? Have they chosen a child for us? Are the birth parents being interviewed? I wish I knew! This is driving me crazy, lol.  Of course people are starting to ask questions about our adoption status. It's a somber feeling when you have to keep telling them you know nothing and are just waiting :(

Since I never win ANYTHING, I had to post about the little contest I entered on Facebook.  The Haiti Market Facebook page decided to have a contest and give the winner one of their new handmade metal cross necklaces.  All I had to do was "like" their page and post a message in the comments section.  I think there were around 60-70 entries.  The next day they messaged me and told me I was selected and they will send me my necklace in the mail.  Below is a picture of the necklace.

HAND-MADE by Haitian Artisans: Crosses are handcrafted using metal from old oil drums. Workers cut, then hammer designs into the metal. Cross Necklaces are made by Apparent Project artisans. The beads are also made at the Apparent Project artisan house.
No two items are exactly alike! They are similar, but unique.





My necklace when it arrived

I love this organizations! They do great things for a great cause. You can read more about the Apparent Project below in one of my previous entries. I'll wear this close to my heart. Hopefully this is a sign! Lord, let us please hear something SOON!!!!
