WE HAVE A COURT DATE!!

We received word this afternoon that we have a court date -- OCTOBER 27th!! It is less than two weeks away! This is very surprising -- AND WONDERFUL -- news!! We were expecting to wait much longer before we were assigned a court date. While this is a huge milestone in our adoption process, it is also a HUGE HURDLE that has yet to be accomplished. There is by no means a guarantee that we will pass court on our first try. Many, many things have to come together just perfectly for us to pass that day, and the only way that will happen is by the grace of God. Please continue to keep us and Ari in your prayers. We are still hoping to have this little boy home for Christmas!!

Hi! This is Sara from the Welcome Home Party Friday night. I am so looking forward to hearing how court goes. I will pray that all goes smoothly. It was so great meeting you and Roger. It made a huge difference talking to people who understood how simultaneously joyous and crazy making this process is. We would love to keep in touch. Good luck tomorrow!!! We will be thinking of you.
