The judge granted us custody of Elijah, Annaleise and Jeremiah! We can pick up the court decree and the kids after 10 days.
We met in the judge’s office with the inspector, two witnesses, and the orphanage representative. We both stood before the judge at separate times and answered various questions. The judge enjoyed looking at our photos from home and thought that we would offer the children a good home. He asked us not to forget Bila Tserkva and to please send photos back to everyone so that they know the children are having a wonderful life. The judge was very pleasant and had a good sense of humor. The entire hearing took 20 minutes.
Thank you for all of your prayers! Someday we will share the story of how we desperately needed them today! This has been a faith journey, and God has continued to bless us when times seemed dark.
