Today is our last day of our 5 days of prayer requests which means we get on plane tomorrow! WOOHOO! After waiting 19 1/2 weeks we will finally be able to MEET and HOLD our daughter!! We definitely feel covered by all of your prayers this week and we thank you for praying with us. We said good bye to the boys today for the next 9 days and did so with Wyatt running a 102 degree fever. He was still in good spirits though after lots of extra cuddling last night. Oliver was ready to go from the moment he woke up! They are both in very capable hands and when I told Wyatt that Nana said she would hold him as much as he wants he said "good, that will make me feel better!" Melt my heart! Answered prayers!
Today's focus will be in on what happens AFTER our court trip. We will leave without our Zadie while our court decree is translated and a visa and passport is applied for for Zadie. After the Embassy receives our paperwork they will look through it and either clear us for an Embassy appointment or if there are questions they will begin an investigation. Here is how you can be praying...
-that we would pass court and get this process started!
-that the Embassy would receive our paperwork and look through it quickly
-that the Embassy would clear us right away and no investigation is necessary
-that we would be back for our Embassy appointment in the shortest amount of time (4-5 weeks)
-our visa interview for the 2nd trip
Also, we ask for prayer as it's very possible that we will meet Zadie's birth mom on this trip if she is willing. We would love to meet her and somehow convey to her how much this child will be loved. We ask that you'll pray over this meeting as it makes me nervous and we pray that she'll feel God's love through us, our body language, and what the translator hears us say.
YAY! We're getting so close now and we so appreciate you praying for us and with us! Our court date is on December 23rd so it will take place while you are sleeping on the night of the 22nd. We're hoping God wakes some of you to be our prayer warriors while we go to court for our daughter! But no matter the outcome we give God all the glory!
Psalm 33:4,5 For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all
he does. The Lord loves righteousness and justice, the earth is full of
his unfailing love.
he does. The Lord loves righteousness and justice, the earth is full of
his unfailing love.

Hey Autumn, my name is John. I read a lot of blogs on religion and prayer and I've i feel like I've ended up here once before. I'd love to hear your thoughts about this prayer exchange website PrayerMarket.com I thought it was an interesting idea and would be curious to hear what you (or other Christians) think about it
I'll check back here in the next day or two, thanks & God bless
John W.
