John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid."
Friday we have our court hearing to finalize Ruthie's adoption! Her legal name is already Ruth Joy Kroeker (a very special gift from her wonderful birthmother), but this will mean that legally the state recognizes us as her parents! She's been our daughter from the moment that S placed her in our arms, but this means no figurative looking over the shoulder!
Before Friday can take place, our lawyer needs to receive a couple certificates & affidavits to verify that we've exhausted all avenues of contacting birth father. The certificates have all been received, but we're still waiting the affidavit from the independent counsel who's verifying it all. If it's received by Thursday we are all set for our hearing!
Prayer requests:
* Please pray that all necessary documents are received by Thursday so we don't have to postpone our court hearing.
* Please continue to pray for S (birthmother) as she has started a new chapter in her life. She's decided it's best for her to have some space for a while, and we're supportive of her in that. Please pray for her as her heart still is going through different emotions at different moments. She's an amazingly strong woman.
Thank you!!! We're so blessed to have you all praying for us!!!
Love,
The Kroekers!
