Good morning everyone. Yesterday was the court date for 7 families waiting to adopt their children. They are in the exact same boat as we are, although they were given a for sure court date. 3 of the 7 families court dates didn't go well. The four that got approved (so they leave next Friday-Saturday to head over) were all for infants. However, the three that didn't are all waiting to adopt older children. During the court shut down, the laws were changed without notifying the adoption agencies. So they went to court yesterday for the families only to find that there was more (and different) paperwork needed. So now the new court date for those families is now November 8 (one more month). This MUST be INCREDIBLY painful and disheartening news (especially since they were hoping to get their court date and finalization BEFORE the courts closed in August. Please pray for them right now.
And, as we have not been told our court date, we know that it is coming up (we think it must be in the next week sometime). Please pray for us that things would go well and that the Lord's great hand of providence and protection will be on Gideon's time before the judge (and all the children/families).
As you can see, just when one sees the depot in sight, there are miles of twists and turns before the train arrives. And so we eagerly await.
Safely in His grip,
Isaac T

We're praying. I hope that you and Kathee can feel the peace of Christ as you continue to go through this process!
