For some reason our case was rescheduled for December 9th. We will have to go to court for the third time in an attempt to make Johnny our official son. We are so dissapointed by this news and frustrated that we feel so helpless in all of this.
Another family that has been walking this path with us also received the same news today. Our agency is trying to figure out what happened but has no explanation for us. I would assume the same letter that was missing for the first court date is still missing.
This means that leaving on Christmas is definately out and so it looks like some time in January would be our travel date. My heart is broken once again.
Can We Be Thankful In All Circumstances?

I am so, so, so sorry. I'm very sad with and for your family!!! I want to pray every day for your family that December 9th YOU FINALLY PASS!!!!!!!! I know there *IS* a reason...hold on to the Lord's faithfulness--His faithful protection of your family and that He is always good!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry this keeps happening. I pray God grants you peace while you have to keep waiting :(
ReplyDeleteSarah and John I am so sorry. I know that the thought of being without John one more day is heart wretching. I know God has a plan but sometimes the waiting is so hard. We love you dearly and are covering you in prayer.
ReplyDeleteSo very sorry to hear this news. Please know that so many of us are praying for you. You are not alone!! God WILL bring him home.
ReplyDeleteI'm so very sorry. We had the same reason for not passing on November 9th and have our second date on December 10th. We were with you and the Miller's that week that all three of our cases did not pass for the same reason. It's been five weeks for us to wait and I am terrified that we will not pass again as well. I can totally understand your frustration and have had several conversations with Julie today on what can be done to get our children home. I will be praying for you guys...peace and blessings to you.

you've got to be kidding me... ugh. this stinks. i'm so so sorry, sarah! praying for NO more glitches, at ALL.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry -- Sending prayers for good news very soon. Take heart and hang in there -- your son WILL be home with you soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat!!! I'm so sorry. You must be so so anxious. We love you guys and are praying for all four of you.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry! My thoughts and prayers are with you!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry. :( We are holding your family up in our prayers and hope for good news on the 9th. It is so hard to know our children are growing and changing so much without us, and to be unable to do anything about it. Your heart is especially in my prayers today, and I pray that the Lord will comfort you and give you the assurance that your little one WILL be home soon.

Oh Sarah, I hate this. I am praying. I know how heart wrenched you are. I think about you guys each day. Its hard to wait knowing how "together" the US is on their paperwork....we kept hearing, "its Just Africa....."that doesn't make it any easier. We love you guys!
ReplyDeleteI read just now on another family's blog not with AGCI that they too didn't pass today- the reason she posted was that the man who writes the MOWA letters went on vacation, and took the keys with him, so that no one could access his files. wanted to share this you. not sure if this is the same thing, but wanted to pass it along. so sorry to hear your news!!!! hugs and prayers coming your way!
ReplyDeleteOh Sarah - my heart aches. I sat down at my desk - clicked on PELL icon and just prayed for a good title to a new post. God said not yet and I was so sad. I cannot imagine what you all are feeling but I believe in Philippians 4:6 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." It's what gets me through every day - I'm claiming this verse for you and John - and Emma and Little Johnny today. We love you guys...Connie
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry that your long and difficult wait is now even longer. :-(
ReplyDeleteOh Friend - so sorry! Praying for you and sending a BIG hug to you, John and Emma. May you find some peace in the knowledge that God is in control...even though I'm sure there is nothing about the thought of a Christmas apart from the newest member of your family that feels right. My heart aches for you guys - I know you want him home. Hang in there. Love ya!
