We had our first court date on May 12th. We did not pass. Our case is in "open" status. We found out that the girls have an older brother who is relinquishing them as their parents are both deceased. Unfortunately, the brother is injured and had some type of surgery. We are waiting for him to recover and go to court to make our adoption final. Please pray for the girl's brother to get to court and sign the documents for us to bring them home! "Open" cases are heard on Wednesdays we understand so we pray and fast each Tues eve through mid day on Wed until they come home!
Last week, another fellow adoptive family went to pick up their kids and took with them our photos and a goodie bag filled with homemade necklaces and bracelets, hair ties, clothing and books. Our girls now know for SURE that they have a family that loves them and can't wait to see them and bring them home.
We are worn out emotionally. This is not an easy process. I just know that it will all be worth it in the end when we finally get to hold them. Until then, God is holding them and is taking better care of them than we ever could.
