We both just wanted to say “thank you” so much for everyone’s comments and encouragement. It’s been a really rough day – and the future is uncertain. We don’t know when our next court date will be – we don’t even know if our adoption is going to happen or not. But its so comforting to hear all your words of concern and for Jrock, he said it was nice to hear that we aren’t the only ones it’s been a bumpy ride for. Anyway, thanks.
You must be so scared! I hope you get some better news tomorrow.

I just wanted to add to all the other how very sorry I was to hear this court date didn’t go through. We too are adoptive parents and know how hard this road can be. We will continue to pray for you. I sense from reading your blog that you are a very strong person/couple and don’t seem to let things get you down for long. It will happen, I’m sure…so don’t give up hope. God bless Linda
Oh you guys I am so sad for you. I don’t understand at all what is going on but I am thinking of you and just hoping and praying it works out. Please let us know as you find out more. We are all here for you.

I just wanted to add to the other comments that I was so sorry to hear about court today. You guys have been through alot. We too are adoptive parents and understand the rollercoaster ride. We’ll continue to pray for you and your adoption. I’ve been following your blog for awhile now and sense that you’re both very strong people. It will happen, we’ll pray until it does. God bless Linda
Oh Nicky and Jrock! We are soooooooooooo sorry to hear this. I have been checking the board all day to see good news from you, but didn’t get a chance to check your blog until now since they are blocked at work. I just can’t say how sorry we are. We will keep praying, even though I’m sure it does not seem that any prayers are being heard right now.
Take care of yourselves!
Alysia & Derrick
Oh you two, I am so sorry to hear this news. My hearts go out to you both.
I know there are no words that can take the pain away but you sure have a good support network and we are all praying and standing behind you!
Big hugs,
Tracey
Oh, I was sooooo thinking about how your court went, and then I realized you didn’t post on the board, and I realized…oh no!! I bet. And sadly it was true. I can’t imagine going through so many wretched courts…when oh when? These girls have to come home!!!
ME
Oh, we are just so sorry to hear this. I can only imagine how hard this is – I’m crying just thinking about it. You are in our thoughts and prayers continuously!!!!!
I cannot believe or understand why this is happening. I am so sad for you and really hoping that everything works out so you CAN bring your girls home. HUgs to you… I can’t imagine how devastated you must be feeling…
HUGS and thinking of you

‘Nicky’, I know our situations are slightly different but we are definitely facing court battles as well. If you wanted to chat offline feel free to contact me. I am Dae in your blog roll, The Power of Four blog, and in 2.5 weeks we will finally have our first court date, our referral was December 22. It has been a very hard, long journey.
Take care, I hope you can get some answers soon
‘Dae’
You WILL bring those beautiful girls home.
I am so sorry to read about what you are going through. I can’t imagine how awful you must feel with this uncertainty. I hope you get answers very soon so your girls can come home.
The four of you are very much in my thoughts.
Chris
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this really rough time. We hope that you hear really good news soon, really really soon. Enough already! You are right this totally stinks and we can’t even begin to imagine what you are feelings. So sorry this is happening.
Jenny and Rob
Blech
I’m sad to hear it. Hope to see you soon.
My thoughts and prayers are with you as well. We too are at a uncertain point in our adoption.
Oh my goodness, I’m so sorry to hear this news!!! We will be keeping your family in our thoughts and I sincerely hope that you are able to bring home your daughters home after all. Good vibes are being sent!

I have tried to comment about six times and all I keep writing are stupid greeting card sayings like “Thinking of you at this difficult time.” But, well… I’m thinking of you, what else can I say? Hope you are getting good communication on this one, what a tough situation.
oh nicky and jrock, I’m so sorry… there is really nothing more to say, this just sucks for you. The girls have been referred to you for so long, it must be so hard knowing that there is still some question as to whether they will come home to you. As much as I want to just say “hang in there, it will happen soon” I wanted to offer the other side of the coin, and say that if the reason for the delays is because of inconsistencies, then it really is for the best that there are further investigations to determine what is truly best for the girls. If that has nothing to do with it, and it’s just a matter of bureaucracy, then… well, I can’t really use that kind of language on your blog…
don’t give up, you will bring your kids home soon. big, big hugs in the meantime…

I am so sorry for you both. I can’t believe this is happening. I do hope you get answers soon and can finally bring your family together.
Natalie
I am heartbroken for you guys. This is not right. I am praying that whatever obstacle is holding you up will be removed immediately so your girls can come home to you!
I’ve haven’t had a chance to read blogs for the past few week, and when I came looking today I was so hoping for good news.
So sorry to see it hasn’t happened (yet). You must be totally down in the dumps. The uncertainty is draining, exhausting, and it’s hard to stay positive. Here’s sending you some positive vibes, virtual chocolate, whatever it takes to regain a hopeful outlook.
You will be parents, you will!
Hugs,
Roma
Oh my goodness. I just got home and immediately thought to check up on you. I/we are SO sorry. I cant imagine the anguish. We’ll be thinking good thoughts for you…
Barb
I have been reading your blog and hoping that this would be the final court date. My husband and I are on our second attempt to adopt from Ehtiopia. The first one was a paper work nightmare and I sure hope they get everything in order for you.
I will keep my fingers crossed. Andrea
I have not checked in on your blog for awhile and haven’t seen an update from you on the board and now I understand why. I just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you, Jrock and your girls and am praying that you receive good news very soon, so that you can move onto the next step and get those beauitful girls home…
I am sorry that you have to go through this. You are all in my prayers.
Kim
Oh, how crappy. Having heard some better news on the board, I came to your site thinking you would have heard good news. Certainly hoping it will be good news really soon. I sincerely hope you can get some answers, so you have something good to hold onto.
