As I was expecting for some reason since I hadn't heard news earlier ......just got an email from our rep.... the court date was postponed... judge wanted to see certain documents in the original form. I totally understand... a recent document we signed was scanned, because we just received it... they got the scan copy in time for court appearance but he is requesting to see the original.
So original will be on its way to India next week...and new court date rescheduled. At this point, they don't believe we will need to appear in court - but we'll wait patiently to hear the offical word.
I trust this little timing change is all in God's plan...so I trust in Him. I am just happy to hear something - and to also get word that it doesn't seem as if we have to appear in court. At the end of all the process, is a little girl and a family waiting to be joined ... and for that I am very thankful.
This blog documents our adoption journey (our daughter is from India). Now that she's home with us and we are a complete family of four (we also have a son, Joshua) this blog serves to share a variety of topics, adoption related, parenting..... just everyday life. Check out our FAQ on adoption questions, along with any other questions commonly asked.
Oh Renae, I am so sorry that you have to wait longer. I am glad that you heard what was going on, though. I'm praying that the new court date is set very, very soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Sarah. I'm happy to hear something too.. now I can enjoy my weekend with my family, while we wait. The stress and excitement is intense :)
DeleteSo sorry you have to wait longer! I was hoping you'd have some really good news, but I'm glad you heard something today! Hugs to you!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks ... happy I don't have to go through the weekend, not knowing... :)
DeleteRenae...I am so glad you heard something. I am praying for you. Your faith, and your love of the Lord has been so edifying. I know it's hard, but the end is in sight. You will have your little girl in your arms soon. I love you, Renae, and am so thankful for you.
ReplyDeleteLove,

Mer- you are my very first blog friend and I'm ever thankful God placed me in friendship with you...plus, you've also brought me Sarah and Nikki :) I couldn't go through this without all of your support. I try hard to have such an upbeat attitude and trusting in God - but sometimes the wait and silence is really hard. Now that I know, I'm confident there is a solid reason for this timing .. and I trust He (our Lord) knows exactly what He's doing. :)
DeleteSo I take a deep breath and prepare for a weekend of soccer, birthday party, movie/lunch with my mom (going to see October Baby)...and who knows what else is in store. :) Off to a good night sleep, the last two nights have been very restless.
Renae- I will be praying for a court date that is rescheduled VERY soon! I will also pray that you receive encouragement, comfort and peace during this last leg of the journey- YOU ARE IN THE HOME STRETCH!!! YEAH!! And yet, being so close I'm sure will make the waiting that more difficult. I'm praying for you and your family!

Thank you Kristen, I pray we are in the home stretch and something unusual doesn't come up to cause further delay. Thank you so much for praying for us.
DeleteThinking of you today, and saying a prayer for this all to pass quickly.
ReplyDeleteThanks Colista - it's so comforting knowing so many are praying for us. We really do appreciate it.
