Still waiting...

Just wanted to update those who are still watching our blog and waiting to find out what is going on with our "on hold" adoption status. Our facilitator contacted us Thursday morning to let us know that he is still waiting on the judge to make up her mind on when we can have court. The judge was slated to let him know on Monday, February 23 about a scheduled court date near March 12. He went in on Monday, and she basically said "come back tomorrrrrow". Well, 3 tomorrow's later, she told him that she has not had time to review our case, and he needed to come back on Monday, March 2 to get a firm court date. Our facilitator has had someone that works with the judge to talk with her, another judge at the same court house to talk with her, and he himself has spoken again with her. She told all 3 people the same thing. She said she has lots of cases and has been too busy to look at our case. So...

In the meantime, we wait and we pray, we love on our kids here in Birmingham, we try to engage the tasks required of us on this side of the world, and we think often of our kids waiting on the other side . We look forward to hearing of a court date so that we can continue toward the goal of having 3 new children home.

"Faithful is He who calls you and He will also bring it to pass. Brethren, pray for us."
1 Thessalonians 5:24-25

We're still praying between South Carolina and Maine! I'll pass it to Ecuador folks next time I talk with them as well

We learned that the more accurate translation for "zoftra" is not "tomorrow" but rather "not today".. ha Blessings to you!
