Last week was my fourth trip back to Haiti since receiving our referral in July. This time I took my mom and sister with me so they could meet Jameson. My mom was really nervous, but she survived! When we got to MDA, the orphanage director, Gladys told me that we officially had our "Judgement" and Jameson was legally our son! She said that if we wanted he would be allowed to sleep with us in our room during our stay. Later that evening she said our file had been moved to MOI, which is still part of the judiciary process, but closer to getting Jameson's passport. Assuming this is all true, I think we may be about 4-5 months out to homecoming. I plan on trying to get some confirmation on this update soon. This part of the process is a little blurry because there are so many steps, but your not really told when your file moves to each step.

Otherwise, I had a really good time during our visit. Jameson was more outgoing than ever! We were able to take him to the pool one day and to the beach the following day. He loves the pool, but hates the ocean. He was afraid to put his feet in the water:) The beach was really beautiful and the weather was nice. It was good to get out and see different parts of Haiti.

It was really hard to leave this trip :( I think this was my last visit until it's time to pick him up. I left several outfits and two pairs of shoes with his nanny. Hopefully he will be able to wear these for a couple months. The days go by very slow, but we are now looking at starting his bedroom and we also created a couple registries for a shower my sister is hosting for me in May. Please feel free to leave comments or ask questions. I like meeting new people who are in the process or completed.
