Adoption Update Follow-up (by Thom)

We asked for prayer this week as we were expecting a judgment on our adoption of Hannah & Miriam. We got word today, but it wasn't exactly what we were expecting. Here's the email I just got:

Hey Thom, I just tried to call and did not get an answer. I just talked with (the lawyer) and he was able to speak directly with the judge. The earliest court date he was able to get was Thursday December 7th. The judge is in the middle of a campaign and is taken with that, (the lawyer) had to push to get a date in December.
You will need to be present for the court appearance as well as the girls father. (The lawyer) said he would take care of making sure the father is there.

So, even though the adoption won't be finalized this week at least we have a firm date to look forward to. Thanks for continuing prayers!
