How to get an update on your adoption

1. Pray.

2. Be in contact with your agency and when they don't contact you back, have words with them.

3. Post on your blog that there are no updates for the 1 zillionth time.


And wha-la, you get an update. It's not a big one but it's like offering a rice cake to a starving person. It's something and it satisfies the hunger, even if for a little bit.

The judge on our case has asked for documentation from the Mayor. The Mayor of the town she lives in technically has guardianship of all children in foster care. Right now the case is at a standstill until that documentation is provided by the Mayor. From the sound of it, it's been stuck in this stage for a bit. We were also told that if this delay continues they will let us know. I'm guessing but I anticipate that we'll hear when the documents are back to the judge.

We don't know how much is left after those documents are submitted. Hopefully not much!

So now we have a specific prayer (and prayer requests!). Please pray that this Mayor, he or she, or the admin assistant working there will come up with those documents and get them to the judge asap!

We have confirmed the Skype call on the evening of Dec 23rd. We will be visiting family for the holidays so she will be exposed to get to meet her Aunt, cousins, other baby girls in the family, see my parents again, and perhaps even her other Grandparents. That is SO exciting. Let's just hope we don't all scare her off. ;-)
