October Prayer update from the Wilsons 

Dear friends,

For some time, we've been wanting to have a month of prayer and fasting for Ermi and his adoption case, and we've decided to do so this month (October).
 
We're at a significant moment in which our lawyer is now planning to submit a letter to the Ministry of Women and Social Affairs requesting our adoption of Ermi. He has been clear from the beginning that a positive response is very unlikely. However, this is Plan A, as a positive response would mean the case would likely be resolved more quickly, with a high likelihood that we could adopt. If they refuse, we will begin the process of taking the case to court. We expect it to take over a year before our case is heard, with no guarantee of a favourable result.
 
We went into this never sure of the outcome. But we are confident of the character of God who reveals Himself as just, righteous and good, and therefore we rest in the assurance that Ermi is safe as we commit him into the arms of God.
 
If you are able, we’d love for you to join us in prayer this month: for Ermi and his wellbeing, for God to make a way for us to adopt him, and to praise God for the life of this little boy and the privilege it is to have him in our family.
 
Love, Suzy and Chris
