Well, the judge was unable to attend court today, so we were unable to get our ruling. That is the bad news. The good news is that God has a purpose and a plan! He knows what he is doing and I have spent lots of time today thinking of all the reasons he may have decided that today is not O's Gotcha day. The other good news is that we get to go back tomorrow. Hopefully, she will be able to rule then, and it will be favorable.
We are so ready to get away with O (to stay at another Inn), so we hope that we can get our ruling IN WRITING tomorrow as well. This would be a miracle, but we know God is still in the miracle working business!
We have been overwhelmed with support and prayers from our friends and family. We ask that you continue one more day (hopefully)!!!
To Our Sweet O,
God has a perfect plan for you sweet boy. He knows exactly what he is doing. We can't wait to share your beautiful face with your friends and family. We are planning for your party tomorrow too! We will provide the Mammas with rice and sugar to share and there will be cake!!! I'm sure you will love cake! You are a big fan of food in general. I know you will miss you friends...there are so many of them and they all love you so much. We know that you will make lots more new friends though. We love you more than you could ever imagine.
Love you more,
Mommy

The court hearings and rulings are frequently rescheduled at the last minute. It's not a bad sign or anything.... just really hard to wait. I don't know anyone who received the written ruling in the same day. The problem is that the judges don't all have computers in their court rooms. They are hand writing the rulings and then their secretaries will type it up later. Then it has to be "sealed" and "recorded." So don't worry if it takes a few days longer than you expected. I know it's so hard to wait. I was in your shoes and it was a time of anxiety, peace, relief, rush, rush, wait, wait, anxiety, peace, relief, rush, wait, rush some more, now wait.
ReplyDeleteSo exciting about the party! That is always a very special time at the babies home. All of the children get a special treat that day and it's a happy time. The mamas will be so grateful for your gifts.
Praying for everything to come together quickly and for peace to wash over you while you wait.
In Jesus,
Amy
