Tomorrow will be 35 weeks (shouldn't we be getting close to a "due date"). Courts will be closing for the rainy season at the end of the week. Continuing to pray for as many people to get through court as possible so when they open back up they won't be very backed up and we can go and get our baby sooner! Praying it will be before Christmas. Thought we would have our referral, but anticipate that it will be coming soon! Can't wait!

God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by
bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he
wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.

I have my fingers and toes crossed for you. Hopefully some action on the referral front will be underway when the courts close. I know the final push of the wait must be really difficult. Thinking of you.

Hoping for some movement now that courts are closed!
