We got a court date!

Hello, we received news of our court date this morning. We're traveling back on Dec 4 for a court date of the 6th or 7th! We won't have her home in time for Christmas but hopefully by New Year! A great way to start a new year as a new family.

This is definitely a Happy Thanksgiving!
