Waiting

Well, a lot of people have questions about the evacuation of the Canadian kids - we do too! Nothing is for sure yet. The kids need to be escorted out (of course, someone needs to take care of them) and the Canadians will only let those with Canadian passports do that. This is the same as the other countries. However, the other countries allowed other people to come in on that flight to take care of the kids going out - often even doctors, so the kids would have immediate medical attention on their way to their new home country. With the Canadians, they will be going on a military plane instead of a passenger plane, and I think this is the reason they are not letting anyone come in. Unfortunately, this also means they will not bring us back. The kids getting out is, of course, our very first priority, so if this is the way it has to be, then I guess that's that. However, we came to help - and as soon as the kids are all out, they will start bringing new kids in. We are anticipating the new kids to be quite sick, and they will need all the help they can get. It frustrates us that the Canadian government can't seem to understand that taking all of us out is not a good idea. I want them to know we are not trying to evacuate! We're here on purpose, and they are displacing us! We will likely be flying into Montreal or Ottawa, and meeting the adoptive parents there. It's possible we stay there a day or two if the parents cannot all get there immediately. We are looking into other possibilities of how we might be able to get back, but there are no commercial flights going in or out yet. I don't know if we might be able to get on a supply plane or not, as I said, we have many questions, too! Please pray about this trip, that it all may be sorted out according to God's will.
