Well, our court date in Ethiopia came and went yesterday....and not a peep from our adoption agency. One family* who just returned from Ethiopia said that Internet has been down in Addis Ababa for about 2 weeks, so perhaps that has something to do with it....I'm going to think the best until I know otherwise!
So, those of you who are also waiting....I feel your pain! As for our house, we will be trusting God....AND eating chocolate!!
**that family also said that Peanut loves to sing "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes"!!

Glad to know we aren't suffering alone! We too had our court date the 2nd and haven't heard a thing. I hope they don't wait until monday that would be agony.
Oh yes, she does love to sing that. Also, God is so good and many other songs. :) She is the sweetest girl and I am hoping and praying she will be in your arms soon!
Gretchen,
I'm hoping you and the other families that are waiting get word soon. We heard at 8pm our time which was midnight for St. Louis. I'm hoping you don't have to wait until Monday. It's an awful wait.
My thoughts are with you and your family....
Fingers crossed over here for y'all!
Father,
Thank you for the amazing gift you are about to give the Margruder's! You have an awesome love we just lift you up and praise you for that. Help send the news of the court soon, Lord and help it to be good news. Bring this child home soon, and we pray that this is your most perfect will. Give peace and patience to the Margruder's and the other families waiting for news. In Jesus' most precious name!
Amen

i do feel your pain. We had a 72 hour wait since our court date was on a friday. I pray for God's peace to sustain you this weekend.
And like it happened for me, I am praying for the "best case scenario" (Passing court the first time through!)
prayers are being said for you!
