"NO GO"




Well, it was a "no go". We tried. We went into this hearing fully trusting in God's Divine Control. We fully believe in His Sovereignty and rest in that. The judge came into the court room and talked with us. He explained why he could not proceed. Basically rather than filing a formal objection to our case the state just didn't send a document that he needed in order to move forward with the hearing. We even called the clerk of court yesterday to make sure that everything was in order, but I guess this was just over looked until the judge reviewed our case right before the hearing. Our family came and supported us...which was such a wonderful encouragement to us. We are really blessed with friends and family that are so incredibly supportive of our adoption. We appreciate you all so very much!!!!

So now we plan a rendevous to Florida! We don't know what date we'll be assigned for our hearing there, but we'll find out soon.

At least we tried! And like I said, we walked out of there with nothing lost. We even went and celebrated the fact that we will be finalizing his adoption! We all went to Dairy Queen and it was great! Thank you so much for praying...now you can pray that all of the details and provisions come together for us to get to FL.

I cannot believe any judge in his right mind could see that darling baby and those gorgeous girls and say no. Bah humbug.
Praying you through the next step in the process. Don't lose heart.

The DQ can make some of the disappointment go away. The family looked gorgeous and the star of the party looks like he's feeling better.
