Court Tomorrow

Tomorrow is the day of our second court hearing.  This is basically where the judge gives his ruling. 
We, of course, are hoping for a positive ruling!  If it is positive, then we will be allowed to take our son for the day, but he will still need to sleep at the orphanage.  We don't get to keep him 'for good' until we get the travel letter from NCC (formally MIGEPROF).  We were hoping to do this after the court case, but when we walked there this afternoon to talk to them about getting the letter ready, the office was empty and apparently they were all gone for training and wouldn't be back until Monday... this isn't the first time we've experienced this sudden office exodus.  The positive part about going to the NCC building was that, even though nobody was there to help us, we got some great pictures of the view from the 3rd.. or 4th floor (I have no idea what floor we were on, there were just so  many stairs!)



On our walk today we went somewhere we've never been.  It was a long (uphill, of course) walk.  I love going for long walks all the time--today we were out from 10am until 1pm... and yes, my feet are tired!

Then we got to visit our boy again.  Today, we finally got a tour of the orphanage.  Normally we just get to spend time up in the parking area and there's a room we can hang out it.  It was so exciting to see where our son has spent so much of his life.  I'll have to try to upload the pictures later because I just spent about 10 minutes trying to upload them and lost patience.  Oh well, after tomorrow, hopefully I'll be able to post pictures with our boy IN them!!

Thanks so much for all your prayers!
