Court Date!!!!

We got the call from our Social worker today that we have been assigned a court date of
May 19th!

There is quite the story to go with this. So after waiting twice as long for a court date as they said we would we decided to schedule a conference call with our agency. About 2 minutes before the call started our social worker got on the conference call and let us know she JUST got news that we have a court date! We decided to go ahead with the conference call because there were other issues we needed to discuss with them. The funny thing is we scheduled a conference call back when we were waiting to get submitted. We got submitted right when we scheduled the call!
And one last really weird thing is that all of our good news has come on Wednesdays (referral, submitted, and court date). We also seem to have a fondness for the 19th (referral and our actual court date).

As anyone who has been following our blog knows, our case has gone over their estimated time lines for EACH AND EVERY step of the journey, thus far. So we shouldn't have been surprised when we found out our court date ( should be 6-8 weeks) was 8 weeks and 1 day!

We are excited to have these first steps behind us and ready to get to planning this trip to meet our daughter for the first time!!!!

We have gone through some VERY dark times in these past 5 months. But we have clung to the Lord and His Word throughout it all and are so thankful He has allowed us to wave goodbye to this valley!
