There are four families in Anya's country, in Region 1,(Anya is in Region 2) who are the very first families to attempt to adopt kids with Down Syndrome in this region. The judge is not supportive of international adoptions at all since an incident last year when a lady sent her adopted son back to this country on an airplane. These families have been working on trying to bring their children home for a year and a half. The Moreno's got word that the committee will not assign them a date for their first trip until they learn that the other two families (the Hooks, the Davis' and one other family who is not through RR) adoptions have worked out. It's a very volatile situation. Their coordinator is meeting with the judge Wednesday (our Tuesday night) to plead with her to assign the first two families their court date.
They need a miracle to take place. We've seen mountains move for other families who have been at critical points like this. I just want to help spread the word so that lots of people can be praying for this judge's heart to soften during their meeting Wednesday. It also happens to be the day that our coordinator is going to be meeting with our judge's assistant, hoping she'll assign us our court date with what she is given. So this day (or night, for us) is kinda important to our family, as well!
I know that our Heavenly Father hears our prayers and that he is a God of miracles. Please join us in praying that mountains will move so that, not only will these children get to come to loving families, but many more will follow suit.
Thank you so much for your prayers!!! I will also be praying that your judge's assistant is open and assigns a court date for you to get Anna!
