Five More Wake Ups!

I am beyond thrilled to share that case #s 133, 134 and 135 were indeed OUR cases! K, K and R were present in court and their names were in the court notes from the 2nd! I am so thankful to know without a shadow of a doubt these cases are ours! We were pretty sure they were ours, but there was still the chance they could have belonged to somebody else. Now, there is no question about it! 

As we expected, there should be one final hearing. According to the notes, they have scheduled this hearing for September 9th!!!!! Only FIVE more wake ups and then, if the Lord wills and the judge grants our petition, we will legally be K, K and R's family! This is music to my ears and balm for my soul! 

So what happens after they are legally ours? As much as we would LOVE to jump on a plane on September 9th, we must wait for 2 more steps. We must wait for the written orders to be delivered to the home (this could take a few weeks), and then we must wait for the girls' passports (this will hopefully take less than 4 weeks but it could easily take longer). As soon as the passports are in their hands we will be able to make our travel arrangements! My best guess is that we will travel in mid November! 

I can't wait to post some good news next week! 

Until next time! -K
