After much prayer and agonizing, we have come to the decision that we cannot wait for our lawyer to get the documents we need. We have learned that his abilities and ethics are to say the least questionable. Although our agency still has faith in him, we do not and will take the actions necessary to get our son home. We have contacted another lawyer willing to travel to the village where Jimmy's mother died to get the document there as well as to Cap Haitien to get an affidavit from several family members. We will submit these as proof of his mother's death. The downside to this is that it of course will cost more money. $3500 to be exact. I cannot tell you how sad it makes me that this has once again come down to money. We have been so blessed by those willing to help us through this. We have been gifted the money for the lawyer and that is such a relief. We will be saving up for the homecoming travel, which will be roughly $2500 depending on how long Rob will need to stay and how much airline ticket prices fluctuate.
Please pray for peace and comfort for Jimmy. Rishard left the orphanage yesterday and will return to Oklahoma later this week. Jimmy is extremely anxious as well as confused. He doesn't understand why it is taking so much longer for him to come home. It is so hard to explain it all when you don't even understand it all yourself. Hopefully, his wait will be short and peaceful. Thank you for your prayers on his behalf.
