This morning I received an email from our social worker that our edict has been released in the national publication (buletin nacional), the last step before our case goes to a judge and we get a date. But then she called and said the court decided to do something very different in our case. Instead of waiting for everything to finish, they've decided to have us come to Costa Rica first. Once again, God has changed the rules--just for us.
We leave for Costa Rica next Saturday, August 25, and will get to meet Ruth and Emmanuel on August 27, exactly six months after "meeting" them on paper. Unbelievable. !!!!!
Last night I wrote Barak and told him that I was asking God by faith to make a way for us to be there soon, even sooner than the system said was possible. God did exactly that--and more. Today is a national holiday in Costa Rica. It's Mother's Day....even better, we're going to call it Family Day.
Ten days!!!! :)
Also, I just got done Skyping with them. They don't know yet that we have a travel date (their social worker and/or psychologist is going to tell them first), so I did my very best not to give anything away. I really can't think of anything better than hearing them say, "Feliz dia de las madres, te quiero" on such an incredibly special day.
I was looking back at yours and Stacey's to see how much notice for travel... you 10 days, them 18... oh boy... and we can't even try to find a place to stay until then... can't wait but of course will!!!! halfway through immigration.... orar orar orar ;)
