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

Congrats!! We all might be in ET at the same time! How cool would that be? Same small town to the same big city for the same big reason. Amazing.

Counting down the days!

Yeah, Amy and Phil! This is fantastic news :-) Your little sweeties are so ready for their parents to come get them...and I think that they are getting impatient!!!
