Court Date

Oh, how I wish I had time to write more on my blog.....sigh....  On March 1st we got our court date.  It will be on April 10th.  We are so excited that things are moving along smoothly so far.  So needless to say, I have been trying to get ready for our trip.

We have booked our flights and B-man is going with us this first trip.  I am so excited for him to see the beautiful country where his two little sisters are from.  He is beyond excited.  So now it's on to getting his shots done.  B and I are still good from our last trip, so all we needed to get were malaria meds.  Right now I am trying to shop for donations...which it seems that the older kiddos at our agency's TH need clothes and shoes.  I've also been gathering things to send to our daughter until we can bring her home.  We have had 2 families send us pictures of her already and it is such a blessing.  I love her beautiful smile and can't wait to be able to hold her!

The other part of traveling is getting everything ready to run smoothly here at home while we are gone.  That is the part that overwhelms me.  I know our big girls will do fine, but this will be the first time B and I will both be gone at the same time and I worry about our youngest.  I know the grandparents are excited about this time with their grandkids though.

Our newest exciting news is that we have a positive recommendation letter already!!!  Although it's not a guarantee that we will pass court, it's a necessary piece that was missing when we went to court for our first adoption.  We waited 7 LONG weeks for that letter to arrive so we could pass court.

I stand in awe with how smoothly everything has gone so far.  We still have a long ways to go and we still could hit some major bumps in our journey but God is doing great things and hopefully we will be able to bring our daughter home soon!
