In the last couple of months God has made it very clear to me that I need to pray differently concerning our adoption. Pray specifically, very specifically. Of course I have been praying for things to go smoothly and quickly, but that was not specific enough. You may remember that we originally had a court date scheduled for August. We never got a explanation of what happened, but that hearing had to be rescheduled. To make a long story short, after a long wait and finally praying very specifically, we got a new court date.
November 10th will be our pre-trial hearing. My understanding is that the birth mother will be appointed an attorney at that time and the judge will make sure that DSS has all the necessary paperwork in place to continue. Please join us in praying SPECIFICALLY that our caseworker and the DSS attorney will have taken all the steps necessary to move forward on that date and that we will be given our next court date at that time. The next date would be for the TPR (termination) hearing.
This is the HUGE one that we have been so anxiously awaiting. Most likely that date will be set for January or February, but what an incredible Christmas gift it would be to have it scheduled for December. December 22nd will be our 1st anniversary with our sweet baby and it would be so much sweeter to know that we were one step closer to legally making him ours!
Our monthly visit with the caseworkers is scheduled for this week, so maybe we will have more info then. Thank you for joining us on this journey and keep praying!
