Appeal date already!

We just got news that we have an appeal date set for December 24th! The good news is that it came MUCH earlier than anyone anticipated, so that will bring us one step closer to eventually bringing our daughter home. But, the bad news, is we are all pretty certain it will be a denial, because all the other families in our situation have already been through this part and have been denied. However, it brings us closer to getting to the Supreme Court.  You have to go through all the "steps" in order to get to the Supreme Court, and this is one step closer....so in that we are thankful!!!!

I am trying to not even think that there could be hope in a positive on Dec 24th because the chances are extremely slim, but there is still that little part of me that wonders, "what if?"!!!

Oh and this isn't something we have to attend...it is all done without us. :)

There will always be "what if's" but hopefully this is GOD's way of giving you and your family your Christmas miracle.
