Hallelujah, what a Savior, I owe everything to Him!
At 4:24AM, after a looong night, we got word that everything went "very well" at Mei-Li's court date and the birth parents even gave up their right to contest--they waived the waiting period! We are told that the papers should arrive (at the orphanage) in 2-3 weeks and we can begin travel plans in about a month. We are praying for SOONER than that!
Thank you for your prayers! We are exhausted and overjoyed!
15-17This resurrection life you received from God is not a timid, grave-tending life. It's adventurously expectant, greeting God with a childlike "What's next, Papa?" God's Spirit touches our spirits and confirms who we really are. We know who he is, and we know who we are: Father and children. And we know we are going to get what's coming to us—an unbelievable inheritance! We go through exactly what Christ goes through. If we go through the hard times with him, then we're certainly going to go through the good times with him!-Romans 8:15-17 (MSG)
That is very good good news. Very exciting, so glad things went so well. I thought it was neat that the parents come to the orphanage to see Mei-Li before going to court. You guys are going to be traveling soon to get her!!! YAY!!
