WE HAVE A COURT DATE!!!
Mary T. just called us to say our court date is this Friday, October 12, 2007!!!AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Last night I had the strongest feeling we were getting the call today and so did Jerry & Ellie. It was so strong that I knew I just had to start packing. I was up until 2:00 a.m. and I packed everything for our 3 babies. Of course, last week Jerry's job scheduled him to be at a mandatory meeting in CA from Oct. 22 - Oct. 26 and our primary babysitters Melissa & Randy are scheduled to go to CA on Nov. 1st. for his job. Talk about crazy?? We knew this was going to happen. So,now we need to go to Ethiopia on October 25th!! The whirlwind begins...I just called our travel agent and she is getting all the travel arrangements for us. Jerry said he will be leaving CA on the red eye on the 25th in time to get on the next plane to Ethiopia. PRAISE THE LORD WE ARE ON OUR WAY TO GET OUR PRECIOUS BABIES!!!! Again, I am sitting here in amazement and tears pouring down my face. I just can't comprehend all that the LORD is doing in our lives. I am so amazed!!!!!

Hey Eileen:
We have a court date for Friday too!!!!! I'm trying not to get excited since our case is unique --so I'm holding my breath and pouring my heart out to God in prayer.
I am looking into flights now, but Ethiopian Air changed their flight schedules since August. We are flying straight out of DC and not trying to get a flight from Charlotte to DC.
