We got a call this morning from our agency. I'm not sure what all the details are, but our first court date occurred--maybe Sept. 1st when scheduled, maybe a few days later--then yesterday, our second court date occurred. And, in something that has precedent but is very rare----the judge decided to skip the 3rd court appearance and granted us guardianship yesterday!!!
Yes, guardianship. The orphanage will be applying for her passport this week--when the written order comes through--and we will be able to travel and pick her up in about 6 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!! (Exactly 6 weeks would be election day which will be a problem--but we will work around it.)
We've got tons of forms now to fill out that I don't understand. Our agency says they have another family due to travel around the same time--and they got their NOC in January (that we just got in July).
We are elated with the news that we will have our baby home for Christmas.
"Now thank we all our God
With heart and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things hath done,
In whom His world rejoices,
Who from our mother's arms
has blessed us on our way
With countless gifts of love
And still is ours today."
