October 2006

The U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince has reported that a new director was appointed on Tuesday, October 3, to lead the Haitian social services agency, “Institut du Bien Etre Social et de Recherches” (IBESR).  Prospective adoptive parents should expect adoption processing to be temporarily slower as the director settles into the position.  The Department of State and the U.S. Embassy continue to monitor the situation in Haiti closely and will provide additional information as it becomes available.
