Friday was court date #4 and although MOWA seemed to write all the letters last week, they must have ran out of gas on Friday when it came to ours and another families, The good news is they did not close the case and issue a new court date this time! The judge has everything he needs except the recommendation letter so they are leaving the case open and waiting for the letter this week.. I know it’s only Saturday, but for me this weeks starts today!

This poem was written by my neighbor and friend Kaydi. We sent it with a care package with the Beal’s and I just watched the video of her reading it to our son in Ethiopia. Seems like the word “Wow” is all I seem to come up with lately..

Tonight, my moon is really your sun
And I pray this day is truly THE one

That under a sky for you that is bright,
I’ve wished on each star that we win the right
To become your new world
As soon as can be
And all be together as one family

I watch out my window
Where one day you’ll play
Laughing and swinging on a warm sunny day

I pray for your nannies
And those you leave behind
In a far away place, so close in my mind

I pray for the judges
And know they will see
Your mama and daddy
Are as good as can be

They can’t wait to meet you
And pray every day
That the moment they hold you
Won’t be far away

So I ask our Lord Jesus
To keep you held tight
Until your day is my day
And my night is your night

I love you.
