"Court Date: Oct. 5"
That's what Kate wrote on a scrap piece of paper and placed in front of me during a Walk With Me committee meeting this afternoon. She had just answered a call from our adoption agency rep who told her the great news. We were only three days from the courts closing for five weeks for the rainy season, and we were thinking there was a good chance we wouldn't get a date scheduled in time. Not only did it get scheduled, but it got scheduled for the first day the courts are scheduled to reopen. If we get approved the first time (typically 80% of cases go through first time), we could be traveling before November 1. We'll see. So freaking excited ... so much to do to get ready!

WOW! That is wonderful. Our friends got their referral last week and awaiting the court date now. My prayers are with you guys and with Roxie - I'm praying for no more seizures. Hope the eyes are continuing to heal. Take care, Connie from Todd Org
Thanks so much, Connie. Things are great around here. Everyone's doing fine! Best of luck to your friends, too. If you think they'd like to connect with us, don't hesitate to point them our way!
We are friends with the Turner's and Connie gave us your blog site. We are waiting to hear on our court date for our 2 month old baby boy from Ethiopia. Sounds like you are on a similar path and wanted to touch base.

Connie, you are so sweet. We have been slack about updating! Our October 5 date was postponed last week, and yesterday we found out our new date is October 20! We'll be sure and update more frequently. Hope you are well.
Well I'll continue to pray that this process goes smoothly. Can't wait to see pictures of ALL your children. I'm continuing to pray for Roxie as well - you all are amazing! Take care,
Connie
