We received word today that our first court date is scheduled for October 26th. This was bittersweet news as we were told we would not know where we were in the court process, and by our timeline we assumed we had already had at least our first hearing. We were crushed because it has been our prayer to have her home before the end of the year, and now that will not happen. We most likely will wait another 3 months to travel, possibly more. However, we felt blessed to finally receive some news! Please, please pray for us on October 26th. Pray that the courts do not request any additional paperwork, which would delay us even more!
The past four months have been grueling. I look at my daughter's face every day, many times a day. I know who she is. I know where she is. They won't let me get to her. It's completely out of my hands. I cannot even begin to describe to you how hard this process has been. This has been the longest and most challenging journey of our lives. I know it will all be worth it, and some day we'll finally gain hindsight, but today in the midst of it all, we are feeling sad and helpless. Please say a prayer for us and most of all Claire. Pray for a miracle!!!
