We are 7th -ish

I talked to our case worker at CWA and we are 7th  in line for the placement of  a baby boy!! Today marks 4 weeks and we have moved 6 to 7 spots in that amount of time.  I am pretty happy with that.  Now there's no way to determine if things will keep moving at that pace.  I know they were a little short on boy referrals right before we got on the list, so maybe this is catch up and things will start moving a little slower, who knows.  Court in Ethiopia is closed for the rainy season which is most of August and September.  People are still getting referrals and cases are still presented to court, but no cases are heard until they re-open.  Our case worker pretty much said that the end of May is the approximate cut off for cases to get heard in court before they close.  So pretty much, if we don't have a referral before the end of May, we probably won't be able to get our first (and hopefully our only) court date before court shuts down.  I am really praying that God makes our son available before the end of May.
