Hello All,
We didn't pass today! Yes, this is disappointing, but we are doing fine. There was progress to note. The relinquishing family members did make it to the court and were allowed to give their testimony so they will not have to travel back for the next court date, which is June 23rd. The main reason stated for not passing today was that MOWA (the ministry of women's affairs), which is understaffed, was unable to get their part of the paperwork to the court in time. Yes, this is why they call adoption "paper pregnancy". All the paperwork has to be done before the delivery! Smile!
So, as I said above, the new court date is next Tuesday, which incidentally will be the 20th Anniversary of my father's death. I believe we will see a PASS on that date! It is currently a bitter sweet day for our family as we are joyful to know that Dad went to be with the Lord on that day, yet we miss him dearly here on Earth and the 23rd is an amplified reminder of that. I believe God, in His usual Goodness wants to give us more reasons to celebrate and be joyful on the 23rd. His timing is Perfect!

Hi Mary and Pace family,
ReplyDeleteMy heart and prayers are with you in this delay. I am now praying that the 23rd would be the date God officially gives you "Mr. T.". Your sweet Dad would look down from heaven and rejoice with you. Our loving God is a God of redemption.
Love and hugs and prayers and grace to you,
Debi
