We have a court date on July 13th, that we will not be passing at. We know this ahead of time. BUT, at that time we will be rescheduled a new court date and we can only hope that it is before court closures (if they do indeed close). If it's not and the courts close, we will get caught in the closures and our process will be delayed until the end of September possible longer because the courts get back logged a bit after courts re open.
Our agency still believes there is a chance that we could get in before closures, but they can not guarantee anything.
So far this news is "well with my soul" . I hope I am not growing in numbness but in faith. Faith that Gods timing and will in our adoption is better then all my quicker expectations. I have learned not to grow too excited over any type of news, but I think that is okay. I am trying to not get my joy in these circumstances, but in Gods goodness. We will see... I could be a mess later and that will show it is numbness. I will keep you updated. :)
I just love the people in our adoption Yahoo group. They are so encouraging, understanding and troopers as we wade through this journey together... there is a chance we could all (those who were caught in the abandonment cases) travel together. Wouldn't that be amazing!? :) Faces to names and e mails.
So... our next update will be on the 13th.
Since every post is better with a picture, I pulled out pictures of Madison from when she was 6 months old. That is how old Adia is right now. It helps me remember that age and all the fun things Adia could be doing right now. I loved this age!

Hang in there- I know that possibly having to wait through court would be so tough, but you are a trooper, and God will supply all your needs. Praying that you will be in Ethiopia very soon.
LOVE the piggy-tails. :)
It is amazing to see how God is using all of this to shape and grow you Kristin! God Bless!

Madison is so cute in these pics!! I am praying we all get to travel together - wouldn't that be amazing. I have to say we might have the most emotional travel group of all time - lol
Finish Strong Friend!!!
Love ya,

Just believe that there HAS TO BE a reason for the delay...something that isn't clear to you right now but will be with God's help in the right time. I will keep praying for you and I am here if you need me. I am not in your shoes yet but I know that when that time comes, you will be there for me:). Those pics of Madison are priceless. She had long enough hair for pigtails at 6 months! Too cute. Surround yourself w/those for now b/c pretty soon you will be taking pics of Adia with Madison. God bless, Tammy
kristin-
its an encouragement to read how you're trusting the lord in this journey. i ran across a blog yesterday that challenged me, so i wanted to pass it on: http://stufffchristianslike.blogspot.com/2009/07/575-refusing-gift-of-desert-road.html
while the things i am waiting on are not as tangible as holding a sweet little girl, i understand the frustration and struggle for faith that comes when we wait on the things the lord has shown us he wants us to do or have. you're right to remember that its his timing that matters ... and he knows so much better than we do. be encouraged ...
