Believe it or not we finally have an update with NEWS in it!
Late last week our agency informed us that we were not only submitted to court (which is what we were waiting on), but that our 1st court date (the one we do not travel for) has been assigned and will take place during the second full week of January. Although obviously we were hoping for a closer date, due to the upcoming holidays, the delay was inevitable ;) But having an actual date in time? Amazing. Especially after having experienced multiple unknown timeline waits like we have throughout. I'll take the 3ish weeks away, thank you (.......now that I've processed through the initial disappointment of it being that far away, come on people, I'm human!). So what *should* happen is soon after that day we will be assigned our court date, which means that we get to travel! Oh my heart. How I have been waiting for that day!
Not only that - another unexpected blessing/update happened just this morning. One of my adoptive mom friends, who is in country for court for her well-waited for little love, was kind enough to act as a pack mule and bring my girl a much needed case of formula. Which in itself is awesome. What is even MORE awesome is that my friend was allowed to see, hold and interact with little miss for awhile. Sigh. What amazing news it was to wake up to. To have someone lay eyes on my girlie. To give me little tidbits of info that I'm dying for daily - things such as how little miss can now stand all by herself when holding onto a table. (Little miss loved to stand when I visited in late August - but it was only holding onto hands, she was not steady or predictable enough to put her up to "cruise" on anything or support herself). Unbelievable. Especially thinking of her size, what that must look like her standing there alone. She is such an itty bitty girl.
Ahhhhh.....Good day!
We can not express how much it means to have people praying for little miss, for us, for this process. Please continue to do so! Please be praying for her to stay healthy, for favor throughout the rest of our process and for us to rest in God's timing! I never would have thought it was possible, but it is getting harder and harder the closer we get - I so badly want to get to this sweet little one and at 10 mo. since we accepted her referral, we are ready to stop seeing her grow up in pictures (although we are extremely grateful for weekly update pics) and ready to watch her grow day by day here in her HOME!
