Wednesday morning we got the email that we have been waiting, praying, begging and pleading would finally come-Baby G's paperwork was completed and submitted to court! PRAISE THE LORD! We are so incredibly thankful that our family is one step closer!
Thank you so much for your prayers, encouragement, and support! We cannot thank you enough for that-it truly has meant more than you will ever know! These past 5 months, since we have had a name and face to go with our adoption plans, have been difficult, to say the least. As we have seen him change and grow, each day we aren't with him gets harder, but the Lord has heard your prayers and ours helping us and him along the way. We are forever grateful.
What's next? Next, we will be getting an email with our court date! This will be our first trip over there-where we actually get to meet him, hold him, give him lots of hugs, kisses and attention! It will also be when we go to court to make the adoption official on the Ethiopian side of things. When? That's a tough one. I hate to put a time-frame on it since the last one was so far off! "Typically" you hear back with your scheduled date 1-2 weeks after submitted. Then it can be anywhere from a week to usually 6 weeks before your actual court date.
Please keep the prayers up-we are still hopeful that we may be able to make it over there before the end of the year! Please join us in those prayers!
