Received some confusing and  possibly bad news.  Over the next 12 hours if you feel like praying, please pray for our case.  Thanks.

Again, the rollercoaster of adoption is taking us for a ride.  Yesterday we thought I might be on a plane by Friday, now we don't know.  Our attorney was supposed to meet with the judge yesterday to see if she can squeeze us in, but, she wasn't there yesterday.  He has asked me not to come until he knows something.  He says he will meet with her tomorrow(that's bedtime in the US). So, when I wake up in the morning I will call him and give an update!

The APPLICATION is filed.  It's 10:30 PM and I just spoke with our attorney.  I don't really know what is going to happen.  In his words, "We are struggling to get a hearing before the judge goes on leave".  He said he has an appointment to meet with the judge this afternoon which is when we'll be sleeping.  So, not sure what is going to happen but I will call him in the AM which will be his evening.  I don't think I'll sleep tonight!

I know that my affidavit arrived at the attorney's office at 4:30 PM and was signed for.  I couldn't get in touch with him, but I will be staying up late tonight to call (it will be WED AM his time) and make sure he is going to file that AM.  I am packing my bags in hopes that I have to get on a plane in the next few days.  I should be stressing out, but I feel so excited!  I know it's hard on Shawn when I'm gone so thanks in advance to all my wonderful friends and family that will bless us while I'm away!  I feel so incredibly greatful to have you!

Talked to our attorney today.  He says that he will file tomorrow and asked if I could be in Uganda next week!  Yes, I can!

Well, my affidavit is somewhere over the Atlantic right now and will arrive in Uganda on Tuesday.  As it stands, the other affidavit's will be re-done on Monday.  At least two of them.  There are two others that need to be re-done and the attorney will have to arrange that.  Joseph's grandma, his caretaker and Joseph will have to go to Kampala at 11:30 on Monday to sign the new affidavit's.  Next week could bring good things.  I am alway cautious in my optimism considering the past disappointments, but I have to admit I feel like things are going to move in the right direction this week!  The sun is out and we went on a bike ride around the lake and that along with the sun has done wonders!
