Try, try again....

We did not pass again. We don't have another date set yet. God willing, we will know next week. Our agencey said to plan for mid- to end of June. So we wait on.

2 more days!

Only 2 more days until our 2nd try at court! I'm asking everyone I know to pray for us!!! I know that God has this all under control. I don't know why it's happening like this, but I know that "...everything works together for the good of those who love Him." God has a reason for this!! So, that said, we wait on. Praying and looking expectantly to what God has for us!

We did not pass

We did not pass court. The Ethiopia government as taking great caution to ensure that no child is trafficked, which I think is great. Except that they are now being very strict when it comes to passing court. They are asking for an investigation into our sons background. We are not the only ones this is happening too. 4 families went to court last night, and no one passed. This is so hard for me, because I so badly wanted to be with Moshe for his 1st birthday. We have a new court date scheduled for May 29. I really don't know if we will be able to travel June 6 still. I really don't remember too much of my conversation with Anna. As soon as she said "I wanted to touch base with you about your court date...." I knew we didn't pass, and went kind of numb. Please continue to pray for us! And more importantly, all the leaders in Ethiopia!! I know they take very seriously their role in protecting these children!!! Pray for guidance and wisdom for them! And pray for this investigation. I don't know what it will all entail. Josue and I are CHOOSING to trust God. I know that Moshe will not be in Africa one second longer than God has planned since before he was formed. But it is still very hard for us. May God get the glory for all that He is going to do!

Tonight is our Court Date

Tonight. I can't believe it. Our court date is tonight!! I'm so nervous about it! I know that God is in control and HE will determine the outcome of tonights decision. Please pray that all the necessary paperwork is there and that the judge will sign everything to FINALIZE our adoption!! I will post tomorrow as soon as I hear anything!

Tentative Travel Dates!

We got 'em! :) Our TENTATIVE travel dates! I emphasize this because it is all depending on whether we pass court or not if we can travel on these days! But, our dates are.......June 6-13! :):) Ohhhh, we can be with our son for his FIRST birthday! And to be in Ethiopia for this occassion is going to be an incredible memory! :) Now our dates are not set in stone, so we have a little leeway on when we will actually leave, but we will hopefully be home on the 13! Thank God!! That is only 4 weeks from today that we could be leaving! So great!!!!!!! But for now, PLEASE pray for our court appointment! Sometime during the night on Monday-Tuesday a judge in Ethiopia will be hearing our case! Thats only FOUR days!! WOW!! We should hear from our agency on Tuesday if we passed. Please, please pray that our adoption will be finalized! Thank you all for the support you have given us! We are blessed to have such wonderful friends and family who are so supportive of this adoption! Praise God!
