Missing letters

God's timing is ALWAYS perfect!!
We did not pass court today. We found out right before we walked in that our MOWA letter was not there, so we knew we wouldn't pass today. But some of the people have been getting their MOWA letters within a few days, so I was OK with that. The whole court process was about 2 minutes. We walked in and the judge asked us a few questions, then she said a few things in amharic to a AWAA representative and we all walked out. Once in the hallway we asked what happened and they said they needed a police clearance letter and the MOWA letter was missing. The judge gave us another court date of 18 days, we think. Later in the day we found out that there is a chance the letter from the police could be in by Monday (praying hard for that!!) and then we would wait on MOWA which hopefully will be written soon! I'm pretty sure that the judge said she would review the file when the letters were there and we won't have to wait until the next court date. We know that God's timing is Perfect and we will cling to that as we wait for Jacob to legally be our son. I really wanted to cry after hearing about the missing police letter and it taking 3 weeks, but I didn't. Then I got back to the guest house tonight and read all the prayers and encouraging words from many friends and family and I had a good cry!! The love and support from all of you is amazing!! Thank you for coming along this journey with us!! It's awesome to see God at work in all of our lives!!!

A bright spot of today was meeting a woman from the orphanage where Jacob was before the AWAA transition house. She remembered him and has pictures of him from when he first got there. We are going to visit the orphanage and the woman said she will give us those pictures!! So grateful for that!! We will be going there next week and we are looking forward to that!! God is good in all things!!!
