We were just notified that we were Submitted to Court! That's a big deal and totally unexpected since we just received our referral a handful of days ago. We got an email that began with "exciting news..." I just love it when we get emails that begin like that!
There are many steps in an adoption process and we have many to go. But this is great!
Right now, we are waiting for an assigned Court Date. That's when Todd and I will go to Ethiopia and do their court work to legally adopt Kyah. We have 2 trips to make and the court trip is the first. The courts actually close for the months of August and September so we don't anticipate having a court date until October or November. It would be wonderful to have a date set before they close just so we can prepare, get airfare, and just take care of things at home. If we aren't able to get a court date before courts close in August that means we probably won't know a date until October. I function a lot better when I'm organized and knowing the date now verses in October would make things a lot less stressful for a momma of almost 5!
Specific prayer requests....we'd ask that you pray for us to get a court date set before the courts close!
Good thing I finally got on here!!! LOVE her name (Kyah VanderZwaag sounds wonderful too...pretty sure Bo will agree!!) So excited to hear the good news about the court stuff!!!! I just can't wait to meet this beautiful little "gem" soon!!!!
ReplyDeleteI've heard of miraculous things happening regarding court dates for couples adopting overseas, so I KNOW God can do this. Prayer shoes are on! Kelli P.
