asking for prayer for a particular group of kids. A family of 4 children from the Port area, from an orphanage who are waiting for adoption. They are staying here at the house now, the Walkers got them out at the request of their friend in the states who is going thru the adoption process.  The rules have been relaxed and they will be allowed into the country w/o finalized adoption papers...at least 3 of them.   One, the youngest, was only found a year ago, he had been living with an aunt who is now dead. The formal papers on him were not filed, as the adoption process on the others encountered many difficulties as those with any passing acquaintance to the process here can attest to.  Now, since his name was not on the "list" of those who had started the adoption process, we are hearing the US will not allow him into the country.  We are praying that this family will not be broken up, that an 8 year old will not be left to fend for himself in Haiti in another orphanage, without an older family member to watch out for him, that sense will prevail and he will be allowed to enter the US with the rest of his family to start a new life.  The main issue here is that there is no gov't to deal with to try and work out the papers here.  As we understand, practically no one in authority can be found, the president of the country can't be located, no Haitian gov't  leaders here are taking charge or trying to give the people hope that something is being done.  So, please pray for this family of brothers and sister to be kept together.
