November 13th

As most of you know, we did not make it through court and it was rescheduled for November 13th. We were shocked to hear our new court date was a full month out but are trying to make the best of it. We are praying we can get her home by Christmas. We received our referral on July 7th and time is crawling. I have read several other blogs where there have been several delays in court but all eventually worked out. I just don't know how many months I can look at the same pictures. I've also noticed that many other families receive many more update and pictures than our agency offers. It would seem that would be an easy thing to get and might recommend it to them when this is all done. One couple actually gets periodic updates of milestones and personality traits of their waiting child. How wonderful it would be to know how she is developing all these months. I think we received one set of updated pics about 3 weeks after referral and nothing since. 3 months have passed, I have no idea what she looks like, how big she is, if she has hair, does she smile, sit, crawl, what does she eat? Is she growing? My questions go on and on and it's probable that I will continue to have all these concerns until December. Please pray for our patience and strength to get through this next month.
