Prayer request for our trip
I'm still so afraid to post anything about our trip - for fear of jinxing the whole thing! We have waited so very, very long. Court for us will be 12 days short of three years since we signed up with our agency. I'll be in the region for quite a while - and will actually return home on exactly the three year mark!
So, we are finally leaving this Friday. Court is the 22nd. Please say a little prayer for us and our little girl. Pray that court goes well and we will finally get through this adoption.. There was so much to share from trip 1 - but again, we've had so many problems that I didn't want to put anything in writing until we were done. So.. I'll share from BOTH trips once I am finally home with our little Hopeful #4
