Name change saga continues... bummer!

So, had our hearing and the judge told us we were going about things the wrong way... ugh! He didn't sign off on our name change because it would have legally changed Rica's name back to Hoffmann (maiden name). Now working with an attorney on an AKA affidavit in hopes China will accept this and allow us to continue moving forward, hoping to have our dossier to China within a few months. Please join us in prayer for God's will to prevail. We have another court date on Aug. 27th to either close the name change case or change Rica's name... only to have to change it again back to Allen. This will ultimately be an additional $1400.00 on top of our already outrageous adoption fees of nearly $30,000.00 and could be another 6 months to a year in the already painfully long 3 year wait. So, feeling a bit frustrated, but still trusting the Lord and looking forward to seeing Him work in this situation. Thanks everyone!
