FINALLY... A Court Date!!!!!

I can't even tell you what a relief it was today when I saw Julie's name pop up on caller id. Our court date is JUNE 8th!!!!! That is just one week and six days away people! I can't believe it.

Thanks to everyone who has prayed for us. Words can't even express how thankful we are. We now need prayer that the birth father shows up to court. He lives hours away from the capitol city of Addis Ababa, but does need to be there for court. Would you join us in praying for this?

My parents are here for the week remodeling our loft and making it into the girls' bedroom. It is wonderful to be with them again. I hate that we live so far apart, but it does makes me cherish times like this!

Okay, so set me straight. The court date is for the children to be released from the father's name and given to you. Will you be present for the court date or do you go after that?
