26 January 2012
This month IBESR named the agencies they will allow to adopt from Haiti and the adoption quotas they
would allow for each country. The United States are allow 240
adoptions per year divided between 19 agencies which means 1 dossier
submitted per month. I suppose if 12 dossiers from the agency are given
the first month, then that is all
they can do for the whole year! 240 dossier for the USA is not a lot.
The Netherlands is given the quota of 20. I have not heard yet for the
other countries who have license. They are being told as they go in to
pick up their authorization certificates from IBESR. I posted on my blog http://godslittlestangelsinhaiti.org/lifegoeson
the full list of accepted American agencies and the ones GLA has
contracts with. The agencies were told they would be allowed to turn in
dossiers starting 4 of February.
IBESR sent out a notice that they would start accepting dossiers but the creches that I have contact with tell
me that none of their dossiers have been accepted. We have tried twice
to put in dossiers and both times have been told that they are not
accepting dossiers yet. Social Services is just now studying our creche
applications that we put together back in September. After they study
them, then they will start issuing our yearly certificates.
I will keep you informed when we hear more from IBESR.
*This was just posted on our orphanages website today. In a way I'm happy to just know that they can't submit anyone until Feb. 4 cuz then I'm not super hopeful every single day that it might be "THE DAY" and I can just go about this week without hope. This new policy would be so sad for kids waiting for families and families waiting for kids. I know of many families waiting to find out who their child is and GLA has SO many kids waiting for a family. :( Hard to understand.
Our adoption worker is in Haiti this week, so we are hoping to learn more. Please pray we can get some answers and know for sure who our child is soon. Thank you.
