92 days

In 92 days we will get to hold Jonah in our arms for a few treasured hours. Yesterday God placed it on my heart to call our social worker at CWA to see when we could expect to hear about a court date for this fall. I left a message and waited for him to call back to tell me to remain patient. When he called a couple hours later as I was driving to get Micah from school. (Hannah was at home with Kurt after having some dental work done that morning) Our social worker said "It's funny you should call because I was going to call you today." He had the great news that we have a court date for our baby boy. It is on November 24th, the day before Thanksgiving! We will get to meet him for the first time two days prior to that and spend a short amount of time with him. We are thrilled to have a date already. Considering we found out two weeks before we traveled to meet Micah and Hannah, having three months to plan is a luxury in international adoption. We are so grateful to God for this unexpected news.

The goal in the next 92 days is to raise $5000 to cover some of our travel costs. Keep checking back for details, or if you feel led to send a donation to us send me a message.

Court Closure

Our paperwork was submitted to court the week before it closed. We were hoping to hear about a date for October so we could start planning our travel, we didn't. Ethiopian courts are closed from August 6th through September. For me this is the hardest part of an adoption, when it's all out of our hands and we just have to wait. The courts reopen Sept 28th. Hopefully shortly after that we will get a court date! Pray for the beginning of October.

Some good news is that we got new pictures of Jonah Tyler today. He is so adorable, the cutest baby ever!!! Once we pass court he will legally be ours and we can post pictures of him, cannot wait to share his smile with all of you.
