Psycologist Appointments

Today we took eight of the newer children to their psycologist appointments. All the children have to be seen by a psycologist before they can be proposed for adoption, so the children that we took with us have not been in the orphanage for very long. I was holding a three week old baby who just arrived here a few days ago. His mother had been sick and passed away. His father had sold everything trying to help the mother get better, and when she died, he had absolutely nothing left and no means to take care of this little one. The little boy, Petersen, only weighs six pounds, so he's really tiny! I held him the entire four hours of our trip. I even had to change his diaper and since all the kids here have diharea, that was no fun job! I change at least a couple diapers every day and I haven't seen one solid poop!
I couldn't believe how well the children behaved, while in the psycologist's office! The oldest was about five years old and other than the baby, the rest were around one or two years old. They were obviously bored, but didn't complain at all! I only wish children in North America could behave as well as these children did for those long four hours! On the way home, just to commend the kids for behaving so well, we stopped and had ice cream. Haitian ice cream is sooo good! I had chocolate and vanilla swirl. Mmm!
Well, no pictures yet, but I'm told that John (him and his wife own the orphanage) will be returning from the States next week and he's the one who needs to set my computer up for the satalite internet here. I'll have pictures to post as soon as I can use my computer agian!
Bye for now!
