Where we are..

We are almost at the end of compiling our Uganda dossier and have our meeting on Monday to update our home study with our social worker.  Hoping to get it turned in next week where we can move forward! The great thing is, there are quite a few people in the works in the Ugandan program, but since we are ahead with all of the paperwork, it doesn't look like we will even be placed on a wait list, which means we will me the next Ugandan referral (if the stars align and I get all of this stuff notarized, in blue ink, blah blah blah, PERFECTION!)

We are resubmitting approval to immigration for Uganda for 2 children (in case you find out later there is a sibling, etc) BOY or GIRL , aged 6 months -2. Eli just turned 3 so we just asked that they be at least 1 year apart in age and to keep the birth order.  This shouldn't take as long as it did the first time.
I got the baby's future nursery painted today and it is a very neutral light gray for either gender:) I love not knowing, it makes it more fun. We didn't know the gender of Gray before he was born and it was the best surprise!

Please continue to pray for our family--I spoke with our coordinator at our new agency yesterday and I found out that we will be going to court with our baby, the baby's parents (unless they are either deceased or unknown), the caretakers (whether it be orphanage agency or foster parents), the attorney, judge, etc...it is much more formal in Uganda, as there were only 200 adoptions last year there.  She said this is rather emotional for everyone. Please pray specifically for John and I on this court date to be as prepared mentally and emotionally as we can be and as always thank you for your support!
