Wanted to give you all our most recent news! Once we were submitted to court, November 14, we thought we were waiting to hear when our court date would be. Instead we got an email telling us things have changed a little. Usually, change is not a good thing in adoptions, but this time it isn't that bad.
Apparently, there will be two Ethiopian court dates for baby G. The first one is for the orphanage, any living relatives, and our agency to be present for. The second one is for the adoptive parents to be interviewed. These take place on two separate days. In the past, they have given the agency both dates at the same time. Recently, the judge has decided to wait until the first court appointment before they are scheduling the date for the adoptive parents.
So, Baby G's first court date is December 5th! That's right a week from tomorrow! Wohoo! No, this is not the date we will be going to, but it is a very important day in the life of our little one! Hopefully, after this court appearance, we will have the date that we will be going over to Ethiopia to meet our sweet boy and stand before the judge ourselves!
To say that we would appreciate your prayers is a massive understatement! Ethiopia is 9 hours ahead of us, so the appointment will take place in the middle of the night for us on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning-please pray for our family!
