That's right dear friends...We got a court date! Monday, November 12th is our official court date.
We will leave NEXT week to arrive three days prior to our court date in order to meet MELAKU and spend some time with him before Monday. We will then travel back on Tuesday probably.
If you don't know about flying to Africa---It's a really LONG flight and lots of layovers and stops.
Pray for us!
Pray also that all of our paperwork and that the MOWCY will submit all of Melaku's paperwork on time so our case will be complete and finalized on November 12th. If they don't have the paperwork submitted, then we will still travel, but our case may not be finalized on November 12th. God is faithful and we trust His plans and work in this. Whatever happens we trust is His best for us and Melaku.
It's amazing to think that this time two weeks from now, I'll have met my son, James Melaku!
We are now running around crazy---well John Owen is running around crazy, but that's normal for him. We are booking flights and the guest house and praying that God will guide us to get the best price for everything. We want to be good stewards of the money He has provided for this adoption.
A thousand "thank you's" to all of you who have walked this journey with us and for those of you maybe just joining. May God bless you each immensely for your part in fighting for this orphan and for orphans everywhere.
Holy Cow! We're headed to Ethiopia NEXT week!!!
