Just a little update Mike... we have our pre-trial hearing scheduled for Aug 1st. I guess this is just an official date that the judge will look at our paperwork and make sure everything is in order. If all goes well we should have a court date scheduled at that time.

Are the wait times listed the time between trips, or the time since starting. If it's since starting, our court date will be 35 1/2 months (12 days short of three years...) from signing with our agency!

I'm not sure I know, Kim. They just put that info in a PM to me or a post here on line. Either way, your 35 1/2 months definitely puts you up there! I'm just so glad that you are moving forward after just a long and emotionally challenging journey. What I do know is that I am anxiously awaiting August 22nd for you, your DH, and your DS.

Mike
