Court date... rescheduled
The day to finalize our child as ours... Delayed. Praying, praying, praying for this day since we first heard about it ten days ago (and long before that). In anticipation, I woke several times during the night and just kept praying -- knowing that was the time in Ethiopia when the process would happen. When I finally awoke, it was with such anticipation. And then I waited. Each hour led to extra longing. Each email that came -- would it be the one saying that our son was ours now? 7:00 am -- Check email. No news from the agency. 8:00 am -- Still no news. Decide to email our contact at the agency: "Any news on our verdict?" 9:00 am -- Still no news. "Mommy, are we going anywhere this morning?" "Umm... No." (Don't want to leave the computer.) 10:00 am -- Saw an email from our agency. With shaking hands, I pushed the button to open the email -- wanting to know, but not wanting disappointing news...
