More Info About Today

I talked to our facilitator this afternoon.  He said that the birth mother brought reporters and city council members to court today.  There are elections coming up in September and the judge was probably concerned about making a ruling against the mother so close to the election, with all of those reporters present.  The judge is now on vacation for a month, and will probably schedule the next court date for late August, right before/around the election.  We think she will finally make a ruling then.  Our facilitator and lawyer are confident that we will get a good ruling then and go over some time in September. Just in time for Rachel's birthday!

Court today

So court took place, but no decree was made. The birth mother, along with the inspector arrived with press and city councilmen in tow. The judge will be going on vacation for a month, and will decide after that time. I'm not sure why this inspector seems to be our enemy, but she is doing everything she can to stop this.

Prayer Requests

So I'm just going to list some things...
1) For tomorrow, please begin praying now. Pray that a decision will be made, and that whatever that decision is, that it will ultimately glorify God.
2) For AS's heart. That the Lord will soften and protect it, and that he won't continue to be hurt by this process.
3) For comfort and mercy for our family.
4) That we won't make this about us. Because it's not!
5) For provision for the needs we have to complete this task.

Court date!

We just found out the birth mother's court date is this Friday, the 6th. Our facilitator and lawyer are both very hopeful for a favorable conclusion for us. Please pray. Thanks!
