So much going on!! We were able to Skype with "N" for the first time last Thursday! We talked for about 20 minutes and it was awesome. He was pretty quiet, but he seemed very excited to learn about us and the dogs! We asked what he wants to do for his birthday (12/24), and he said "throw a snowball"! It was a huge step toward the reality of finally becoming parents! We will get to Skype with him every week until we meet in person. Can't wait for Thursdays :)
We also were issued a tentative court date for November 13th, which would mean we would need to leave for Africa by Oct 28th. That part is AWESOME!!! What is not so awesome is that the last approval letter we need may not make it by then.
So PLEASE PRAY that the government offices involved in that approval move at lightning speed and that we are able to make our court date! God is so good and has been present throughout this journey and we know that it will all come together in His timing - but we are praying that His timing involves "N" spending his birthday and Christmas with his forever family.
Thank you again to all of you for your continued support and prayers.
Love,
Laura and Kevin
