As I had told you all our court day was not completed on the day we were assigned. But it was finalized on Wednesday!!!!! WE PASSED!!! It is a go we are defiantly in for the mid November court date that we have to appear in. Rich was so calm on the outside the whole two days of waiting I on the other hand not so much.
Things that crossed my mind were... WHY?, ...Who was more important than I?... and the only thing I could come up with was...God knows. We as a family did complete our fast as planned and felt that someone was in need and we could wait.
Now the wait is over and we are in packing mode. The girls are getting a little sad but happy and so am I. As for Rich well you know he will show his feelings soon, I think?
To night we are off to see my niece in the play "BYE BYE BIRDIE" @ Oak Lawn HS
How fun. I am looking forward to everything that is to come with this adoption and the new children coming home to us. I would like to ask if you may all pray for a smooth transaction for all of us. I think, after watching a few friends bring home children to their families, that it takes allot of Gods will and discernment to get though it all.
Please note those of you who are reading, I thank you. It has been my pleasure (a very dear friends line) to walk you through our life calling. And from the bottom to the top of our hearts we thank you for your prayers.

What a morning
Dear friends,
Well today was the day of our first court date in the country we are adopting from. They had to close court early and our case was not heard. I do know they will hear our case tomorrow and we will get the news then.
I am pleasantly at peace. I am in complete submission to Gods will for this adoption. Our Pastor gave a sermon an the difference between satans attacks and God tests. I know that God wants all children to have a home so I am in His will. I also know satan wants us to doubt God and His power. I trust that God has this one and I am reallying on His sovereignty.
Thank you all who read, feel free to respond anytime. I do need others to encourage me at times. I am pressing on and moving forward.
We still have our court date that we go to the chosen country. And that is when we meet our children!
Praise Gos for all He has done and is doing.

what a great day!
Well my friends it has been a long time and I have some great news. Today I spent the day with three families. I know it does not sound fun but there was 33 people, 16 of which were adopted. I felt so close to my children yet so far!
I am preparing to leave soon, but first and for most, October 25th is a court date for our children. I am going to ask that you please pray Gods will on that day and that we hear good news soon after.
Also, we are in need of prayer for the upcoming travel dates that we have. I do not want to post any of it due to the fact I am not sure of the guidelines of that form of posting. I am very grateful to all of you who have been standing by us in prayer and support. We are looking forward to sharing more when we are able.
But as for the exciting day. Thank you Shane and Dianna for allowing us to be a part of such a beautiful moment!!!!! Love the girls, oh yea and Alexi too! Good luck with the play...Break a Leg!!!
Good night all
