Just wanted to post a quick update- we just heard from our agency that 5 out of the 6 cases our agency presented in court in October were approved!! Looks like our chances will be even better than 50/50 next Friday!

Is it Really Just One Week Away???
In just one week our adoption cases for both baby S and little T will be heard in court! Can this really be happening???
I can't sleep at night.... haven't been able to since we got our date... I just keep thinking about their little faces....
I'm trying to be prepared for the possibility of not making it through court... but it's so hard to not get excited at the prospect of having 2 new Weinmeisters next week. NEXT WEEK!
Yikes.

WE HAVE A COURT DATE!!!!!!!
Hey everyone!
We just found out yesterday that we have a court date!!!!! It's November 6- only two weeks from tomorrow!!! It's so hard to believe it's all actually happening!
We don't travel to Ethiopia for court- an attorney goes on our behalf. But we need a lot of prayer. Court cases are only successful about 50% of the time. And we have 2 different families involved (since the kids aren't related.... YET!). If we don't pass court for whatever reason (paperwork isn't complete, family members don't show up for court, etc.) we'll get rescheduled and have more waiting to do. BUT, if we DO pass court, we should be able to travel to pick them up about 8 weeks later.... maybe even by the end of the year!!
SOOOOOO EXCITING!!!!!!!
Love,
Amy & Phil

Court Opening Delayed...
Just wanted to post a quick update- courts will not be opening until Oct. 12. It's only a small delay, but we're just so anxious to get this show on the road!
Many Blessings,
Amy
