Non-Update

Non-update, since there is nothing to update. The 2 friends I've met through an internet group that are also adopting from Ashraya have heard from the orphanage since our Sept. 1st court date, but we have not. One got her date, and has her second court date scheduled for the end of October. The other has had her first court appearance rescheduled twice since 9/1, but hasn't heard if the second of those dates actually occurred. This family had already had cancelled dates before 9/1, so this must be their 5th or so time on the docket. Not very encouraging. We continue to wait and pray, trying to refrain from discouragement or jealousy of those whose cases are moving more rapidly.

"But while watching, also pray,
To the Lord unceasing.
He will free thee, be thy Stay,
Strength and faith increasing.
O Lord, bless In distress
And let nothing swerve me
From the will to serve Thee."

ELH 253:5
