An adoption date buddy
By sandi | November 16, 2009
A while back my friend Missy received her referral for her daughter and then a court date. While I have never had the pleasure of meeting Missy in person I have enjoyed talking to her on the computer and exchanging emails.
I was so excited when she told the adoption community that her court date was November 17, 2009. Not as excited as if she had said her date meeting her chid was that date but excited nonetheless. (She got her referral before the court closure and has waited a very long time to get to this point.)
You may not remember but November 17, 2008 was Paul’s adoption hearing in Ethiopia. It was favorable and I am praying for the same outcome for Missy and all the other families that have court tonight. Please say a prayer for these families that they will have favorable court dates and that they will be able to get speedy embassy dates to bring their babies home.
When I think back to where I was a year ago today tears well in my eyes. I couldn’t be there to know what the outcome of the court hearing was, and I ended up having to wait an additional day to find out. I re-read the posts from last year at this time the other night. It was a teary night remembering how much it hurt to not know him yet.
Hopefully it is just one more day for Missy and all the other families. Hopefully they will find out they have another child tomorrow.

I agree! I am stalking Missy’s blog and face book waiting to hear the good news.
I cannot believe it’s been 1 year since Paul became a Brown!

Lots of prayers for Missy.
I cannot believe it has been a year. To me it feels like he has always been part of your family.

Thanks, Sandi!!!! I am so darn nervous! I wish we could meet our little one on the same day you met Paul! That would be too cool!

I remember one year ago. It was so hyper-emotional. I’m amazed at how far a year has brought my family and yours. I have been keeping Missy and her family in my thoughts. I can’t wait to see pictures of her beautiful girl tomorrow.
