Sarah and I have both learned a lot about patience during this journey of adoption. It's amazing that we think we are being patient but families that are adopting through China are being told the wait times could be 4-5 years if not more. I don't know how anyone could wait that long! We haven't heard anything new the past week. The chatter on the message boards is that the courts will open back up sometime from October 1st-October 6th. We should hopefully get some idea of a court date then. That is estimated to be 1-3 months from when the courts open. We then travel 4-6 weeks after that. So we still have at least a couple of months if it was best case scenario. We finished up Leah's room over the weekend and our project for this weekend is to finish up Malachi's room. Once we get that done we can hopefully "rest" until we travel.
Please continue to pray for our child. He's over there and in great care but it still hard to not be able to reach out and give him a hug and let him know it's all going to be alright.
There is an awesome video here on yout tube of a Holt family that traveled over the summer. It's an incredible video that shows all the aspects of the adoption. It's ten minutes but worth the watch!
Talk to you later!

Would you and your family ever consider international adoption as a way to expand your family?
