7 is becoming a theme...

Seventeen weeks of waiting for a referral and seven weeks of waiting for a court date, but HOORAY we have one! Natalie called today and gave us a court date of January 30th. We are thrilled! She also mentioned that there are those unfortunate delays occurring, so beware. I told her I was well aware, do to the many blogging friends that have been caught up in them. We hope to breeze right through and be in Ethiopia before the end of February. PLEASE continue to pray for our sweet boy who is 15 months today and that we make it through court in one try. Thank you to everyone who continues to care and pray and post the most encouraging comments. I count so many of you as friends. We are truly blessed!
