Things are moving fast!

Two weeks ago, we posted that we had received a placement. At the time, we were truly expecting a long wait to get into court. Since that time we have received our court dates.

'Dates?' you might be saying. Yes, there are two dates in our horizon. The first is this Thursday, July 22. We do not attend this court date. Rather it is for local officials to testify concerning the girls' eligibility for adoption with any surviving family members. Presuming that everything goes smoothly with this first date, our second court date is set (August 4). They want us on the ground by August first. This will give us time to spend with the girls before the court hearing. Please pray for us that everything goes smoothly this week with our first hearing.

So what happens next? Unfortunately, we can't take them home after court. We have to wait for an embassy date which could take 8 weeks or more. Although the process so far has seemed long, we are mentally preparing for the pain of separation and the wait...and only God can prepare and comfort our hearts.

Thank you for your support along this journey. We are almost there. Keep praying.
