NO court date yet - back of the line

Well the agency is getting court dates for people that didn't get one before the August closures.  however, since our first referral was voided, and we accepted a new one - we can't just stay in the same place - we have to now start over in the court process.  So our paper work was officially submitted to court last week - on October 7th!  So that's a good thing.  NO idea how long it will take to get a court date - we are waiting and waiting and we will make it.  I'm now assuming if this year - it will be LATE this year - so we shall see.  Just have to continue keeping the faith.

I know things happen for a reason and I believe this is God's plan.  Our friends in TN are hoping to get a referral - our goal is to travel aroudn the same time and meet IN country!  Wouldn't that be amazing?  We sure think so. So continue to pray they get a referral soon!

anyhow - in the last few weeks, we welcomed a new baby nephew - Christopher into the family!  He's in NY - so we won't see him for a bit.  And yesterday I welcomed a new sister in the family!  My brother married his beautiful bride Stacey!  We are blessed by our great family members!

So everyone keep the faith it sounds like things are moving again in ET and we hope all the kids continue to be healthy and happy.

Praying for y'all! It does sound like things are moving forward over there! While I was there the judge came back and was already approving adoptions for folks who had MOWA letters come in during rainy season! That means less backlog for when court opens for families!!! :)
