You know that kid who always ruined the grading curve in class with their more than above average test score? When it comes to adoption, I'm pretty sure Brandy and I are that kid. Through our first two adoptions (see one of the first posts on the blog), we've had to tell people, "Our story is not a good example of normal" and once again it looks like that might be the case.
We got word today that we do have a court date set, which was a little early but not unheard of to hear something three weeks after our referral. Then they told us the date. Average time to wait once court date is set is anywhere from 7 to 12 weeks, but not for the Butlers. Our court date is set for a week from tomorrow, April 22nd!!!!!! We're in shock. There's always the possibility that we won't pass court and will have to wait for another date, but if we do pass, we'll be traveling to pick the little guy up sometime in the month of May.
We're stunned, but excited. Please join us in praying for those involved in the decision making process there, for his aunt who will have to be at the hearing on the 22nd to sign the needed papers, and for our little guy to get to come home very soon. Grateful for all of your prayers and support to this point. We'll update you next week when we hear something.

God is absolutely amazing. What an incredible blessing. Praying for you!
I hope that you continue to ruin the curve:) It is always good to hear hopeful and wonderful stories. We have a court date in May and I am praying for a smooth court date too. I think that our little ones may be together, even though B is a bit older. i will be praying for good news in a week.
This is about the craziest thing I have ever ever heard. Could you help us pray we get this same date? Congrats!
How exciting! Good luck to you next week!
Awesome! God is amazing!!
