Court Date!!

We have a court date!! December 9!! In one month, (if we pass court) Bear will officially be part of our family. I will travel approximately 8 weeks later.

We are going to need BIG prayers to pass the first time. I have two specific requests for you:

1. Pray that a member of Bear's family travels to Addis to appear in court. They live in a rural area and travel is very difficult. Someone from his family will need to appear in court in order for us to pass.

2. Pray that there are no unforeseen court closures on that day. There have been many closures since the courts re-opened in October. I do not want to have to wait any longer than we already have and, more importantly, I do not want Bear's relatives to travel unnecessarily.
