An update

We just talked with Molly on Facebook. She is one of the 2 AMAZING workers at our orphanage. She let us know that Peterson & Gaëlle are doing great. They both slept completely through the past 2 nights. Gaëlle doesn't seem to be the least bit fazed by everything. Peterson is taking his cues from the the adults around and they are all keeping their spirits up. They had face painting today. And on Monday they received a couple of rabbits so that is also keeping the kids entertained.

They are still missing/haven't heard from 2 of the nannies. Please keep them in your prayers. And all of the nannies have lost many loved ones. In spite of it all, they are rejoicing and praising God. It really is amazing to see their strength and their faith.

They all feel so helpless in the face of such devestation. The country needs medical experts and as everybody else is saying, they need money.

We have been asked by our orphanage director to beg our political representatives to let the children who are in the adoption process already, go to their homes on a humanitarian/ refugee basis. Please pray that the officials will be open to this and willing to allow a few children to escape the madness. It is really hard for me to even entertain a speck of hope. But Robin is full of optimism and he will be on the phones trying to plead our case.

If anybody knows an official who might be willing to listen to us, please let us know.

We are all so saddened to hear that Sgt. Mark Gallagher was confirmed dead. He was a great person... somebody that Robin worked with throughout his entire career. He didn't have to go to Haiti but volunteered because he wanted to make a difference. It really brings home the cruelty of this event. And I know that his family is but one grieving tonight.
