We were hoping to get our Embassy birth mother interview scheduled for the day of or at least week of the first court date that also involves the birth mother. After our power of attorney requested a certain day next week, the embassy responded that they were booked through Dec. 2 and that would be our birth mother interview day. I could roll with that! That still wasn't far away.
Well....in comes SUPER SUE our agency director. She contacted the embassy explaining that the birth mother has gone missing a couple of times and asked if there was any way they could move it up. Guess what God did???? Our Embassy interview was moved up to next Wednesday, November 27!!!!!
First Court Date, Tuesday, November 26
Birth Mother Interview at Embassy, Wednesday, November 27
What a Thanksgiving we will have knowing these two appointments are done! If all goes as planned and follows the approximate time lines of the families in front of us in the this new process, OUR court date would be about 6 weeks after the birth mother interview! Again, this would all be based on these two appointment needing no extra documentation, paperwork being correct and all parties being present!
Please continue to pray for the birth mother. Even though she gave him up right after he was born, I really imagine that she still thinks about him every single day. After reading an interesting article on adoption yesterday, my perspective of these two dates totally changed. These two dates represent a separation of a family....a mother and child. It is hard to rejoice in that. We know that was all part of God's plan for Endale's life. We certainly would never want a mother to give up her child, but we are so blessed that God chose us to be his forever family.
We have a big week ahead. If you think of us, we welcome the prayers on behalf of this birth mother, the courts and embassy and our baby boy, Endale.
