December hope?

So I just got some amazing news from our caseworker at Imagine.

Our court date is set for December 26th!!!

The reason why I was told January is kind of a long story so I will spare you the details. However, I will say that our agency has now changed their policies and will be telling waiting parents their exact date of court!

Now we just pray that our case is not only heard that day but that it also goes through and that every piece of paper is in place and everything that needs to happen that day will happen. It seems like there is no rhyme or reason whose court will go through and whose will not. My heart continues to break for the families caught in court closures and that are still waiting today...

It's hard to both get excited and yet remain aware of the fact that we may have to keep waiting. Our anniversary is Dec.27th so this would be a great anniversary gift (not to mention Christmas)!!!! My biggest fear is that if we don't get through, follow up court dates are taking so long to book that our next date might not be till the end of January or February!

If court goes through on December 26th Samuel Meseret will legally be our son and we will announce our new name for him!!!
Stay tuned...
