We are extra thankful to God this Thanksgiving season for adoption journey progress!
The hard cast goes on Monday. Elliot has already decided he wants a camo cast!
Our week started in the ER with a broken arm and ended with a great email from our adoption agency! I am grateful and giddy to share that Thursday we were issued not only our ARC (Adoption Recommendation Committee) approval, but we also received unexpectedly our NOC (No Objection Certificate)!!!!! This means the only official step that remains is our local court date in the city of Thor's orphanage. We don't know how long to expect. It could happen in two weeks or two months. Once the court approval happens, we will travel 1-2 months later when Thor's passport has been issued, and our travel is arranged with our agency chaperone in India. George and I will then go to India for two weeks to hug on our new little one.
Thank you for all your prayers as you have followed our adoption journey. Although we are still waiting, we are waiting for something different knowing that we are much closer to embracing our babe. Please pray for a timely court date and a warm, fuzzy judge who is eager to place a child in his forever family!
Wait for the Lord;
be strong, and let your heart take courage;
wait for the Lord!
be strong, and let your heart take courage;
wait for the Lord!
Psalm 27:14
