COURT DATE

Just wanted to let everyone know that we got a court date for the 8th of February. What that means is that a representative from the orphanage will go to court that day in Ethiopia on our behalf. Most families have not been passing court on the first try. We are hoping that that is not the case for us. If we pass, we will travel to Ethiopia about 6 weeks later to pick Noah up. We are so elated and it is starting to really sink in that we are adding to our family. Sometimes as I look at his pictures it still feels like a child that we are sponsoring but today it feels very real.

To make today even more fun, I went to Target to purchase sheets to go with his new bedding. While I was there, I was able to get some clothes really cheap for him! Nothing like a court date and a great deal all in one day!! Please continue to pray for the finances to finish out our adoption. We will need about $6000 but I know that God will provide! We already have $2500 of it. Please pray for our boy! Pray for a hedge of protection to be around him. Please pray for his birth mom. She will have to come to court on the 8th of February. She will forever be one of my heroes. Please pray that God's hand would be personally on every piece of paper necessary to complete our adoption. We can't wait to announce our son as an official Robinson. Thanks so much for all of your continued support. If you would like to make a tax deductible contribution please do so to Lifesong for Orphans. Their address is in the previous post.
