The Court Date Wait

Sorry I haven't had much to post lately. We're still just waiting for a court date. I've been hopeful that we will get a court date before the closures, but I realize it's July 1st and it's less likely that's going to happen as each day passes. I'm really okay either way (at least today, ha!). Surely we will at least have a court date within the next four months, right?

A little part of me hoped we would get our court date this week. We got our referrals for our boys on the same day, so I hoped we would get the court date calls on the same day also (June 28). We didn't ever get to have our first court date (July 22), though, because of some closures. We found out about our second court date on July 14 (August 7th court date), so maybe there's still hope.

A year ago we were praying for Myles's court date, and the same prayer requests hold true today:

1. That we will be assigned a court date, and fast!
2. That all of the paperwork will be in order, that there's electricity, that all the judges are present, and that all of those other little details will fall into place so we can pass court on the first try and before rainy season.
3. That God will give us peace and comfort if we have to wait a little longer and that the waiting flies by.
4. That L will stay healthy and strong while he waits for us to come get him.

A couple weeks ago we got to meet Amy Curtis, our post-adoption coordinator at Gladney. It was so great to meet a Gladney staffer in person since we're all the way in Tennessee! Amy was wonderful and a great resource for us. She has met L, so she was able to thoroughly prepare us for some issues we may have when he gets home. We are so thankful to have her!
