..::Answered Prayers::.. Haiti, China, Africa

Independent Adoptions through:

Brebis de Saint-Michel de L'attalaye

We do this in order to minimize the emails and workload on the Haitian staff so that the officials can focus their time on appointments and getting paperwork done so that children can be home as quickly as possible. Feel free to have an open and honest relationship with your liaison worker through Answered Prayers. It is their job to make you the parent feel comfortable and at ease with how the adoption is progressing and alleviate any concerns you may have at any time. Please note however that Answered Prayers in no way controls the speed of the adoptions. We will try our best to encourage and keep you informed of process but there is no way for us to speed things up. We work with the Haitian facilitator and the Haitian Attorney because we trust that they will work hard in getting things done as quickly as possible. We have complete confidence in their judgement and abilities. We will pass along any information we receive as soon as it comes. Updates will be in the form of pictures and measurments etc.as often as possible. We hope that this will help mommies and daddies during the waiting process.

Answered Prayers is not an adoption agency, or an adoption facilitator. We are a licensed dossier preparation service and humanitarian aid organization. We will however be working with potential and current Brebis adoptive parents to serve as the liaison between Brebis and North America. Communication with Haiti is difficult at best, so we will walk parents through the dossier preparation procedure, answer questions, and encouraging you throughout the international adoption process, as well as provide parents with regular updates.
