We have court in less than 4 days. For those of you that are new to the blog, we had our first court date on Dec 8th. They ended up not having court that day due to the Muslim Holiday. The following day, they were only open a few hours and did not get to our case. By then, I was a mess with emotion. The following day we waiting on pins and needles. We soon found out that our case was heard but we did not pass due to the fact that the birth mom did not appear at court. She lives very far away and was ill. A new court date was assigned for six weeks later, Jan 22nd.
So here we are, 4 days away from court. Addis is nine hours ahead of us, so while we sleep on Wednesday night, court will be in session for our sweet pea.
We are praying that we pass. Court dates are getting harder to get and further out. They are now assigning families who have just received a referral, April court dates.
Our sweet pea turned 8 months on Friday. She was three months when she made it to the orphanage and we were assigned to her a short time later. We have received medical and photo updates each month. She is growing up before our eyes and I feel like I am missing so much. I am thankful for the people at toukoul for taking such good care of her while we are waiting to
