Most agencies now seem to be getting court dates for new cases for early October, after the court closure. It appears that the majority of cases who had original court dates during the ban are being heard before the closure. If you're an abandonment case still waiting for a 2nd court date or if you've received one for October, please let us know.

  3. Our original court date was on Apr. 22nd. Referral was Sept. 4th. Still waiting on another court date. I am really hoping all affected cases will be taken care of before closure. Praying for those who still are waiting, yet so thankful things are moving.

  4. What do your agencies say about not having court dates for you yet? I don't have the impression that our agency and others had any trouble getting court dates as soon as the ban was lifted. So I just wonder why you can't get one?

  5. Exactly! There should be no reason you can't get a court date. I would really begin to question your agency.

  12. Has everyone got a letter from MOWA after the ban? Or is there some orphanages that still are on hold? EVERY day feels very long day before our court date...

  13. No, there are still families waiting.

  14. We had our second court date after the ban on the 6 of August...the first court date was cancelled when MOWA closed...we did not pass due to missing papers from MOWA. The jugde rescheduled us to the day after...on August 7 and we passed!!!
    I was told that 22 out of 40 cases, did not pass on August 6, all because of letters not written from MOWA!!!

    Good luck to everybody!!!!

  16. We passed court on the 5th of August as well and we didn`t have the mowa letter before. Our agency said, that it was no problem to get the letter and all the couples from our agency passed.

  17. Anon1:29Thank you...it is such a relief!!! Our agency was given new court dates, immeatedly after we didn't pass.
    In our case (our agency) it was randomly who had a MOWA letter. We did not have a MOWA letter and it was not ready when our case was presented to the judge...they had it ready for the day after.

    Ask, if I didn't answer your question!!!

    Good luck:):)

  18. MOWA writes the letters for each case (and normally, it's my impression, just before the court date) - and sometimes they miss a couple of letters for different reasons, that has nothing to do with the nature of the case. I also heard of the 22 cases the other day, and I certainly hope that the judges will be as friendly and flexible if it happens again, so that people can have new court dates already next day. That was really really nice of them! :)
