Case Update: We heard from our Guatemalan coordinator today and she said that McCaule's DNA will be done next week and the social work report will begin officially on December 14th for both girls.
Family Court Social Workers take turns being off for the holidays. The first half are off from Thanksgiving until December 14. The second half are off from the 14th until January 1st. They were trying to time it so that whoever got the report would be there and so, no down time would occur and the report just sitting on someone's desk for two weeks before being submitted to the Family Court Judge for approval.
Our U.S facilitator wrote concerning the coordinator, " She was very very impressed with your lovely family……..and is working hard for you to bring these little ladies home…."
What an encouraging note. We are praying for contentment during this time and focusing on submitting to the authorities that the Lord has placed over us at this time. 1 Peter 2:13 came to mind yesterday and a friend who is also adopting from Guatemala had referenced it in a correspondence we had. It reads, "Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority". Also Romans 13:1 states, "Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities for there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God." As we wait, I will continue to remind myself that God is the one who holds the future and the governments He places into position. May He be glorified in all we think and do!
