COURT DATE!

We found out from our Case Manager this week that we received a court date! July 3rd! That’s less than two weeks from now! Just to remind you, the court date is when our kid’s “case” will be in front of the judge for his or her determination of whether or not the circumstances around their arrival at the children’s home causes them to be considered for adoption. We do not attend that court hearing in Ethiopia but the Christian World Adoption Staff does.

Please pray for July 3rd and that we would “pass” court this first time. If there is a paperwork “glitch”, we run the risk of running right up against the court recess deadline (which begins in early August). Our Case Manager reminded us this week that while July 3rd doesn’t leave us much “wiggle room” for paperwork trouble that could happen that God doesn’t actually need any “wiggle room”. That’s a very welcome reminder as these days of waiting feel nearly endless.

Thanks so much for your prayers and your encouragement...they mean the world to us. We’ll keep you posted!

  1. We'll be praying for a succesful court date tomorrow! We've been home for 2.5 weeks and are so thankful God took us down this path.
