news from Dr. Leininger
Here's an excerpt from a March 6th email sent to adoptive parents from Dr. Leininger at HCRM:
"You may already know that 11 children flew from HCRM/Haiti on a donated charter flight to Miami today.....The process started yesterday when 7 of our children and sponsors were taken from the US Embassy in an embassy van to the airport and Haitian customs. They were denied boarding.....because they did not have a passport, a new requirement as of yesterday. After several hours of negotiations between the governments, the Haitian gov't agreed to make passports, and have them ready for the 44 flying on the charter flight today.....Had 7 of our group not tried to leave yesterday, and created the international event, no one would have flown today, and I don't know when another charter flight would have been available.....The stories of our group staying in the embassy with 7 children are touching and I hope they are shared with you at another time. Please thank the Lord for his goodness in all of this and remember the two who still need to leave. Both of them waiting for the prime minister's signature.......This has been 7 weeks that I will never forget. You all have beautiful and wonderful children and I have enjoyed every moment with them. In Christ....John"
