Yes, we have a court date!!!

Um...TOMORROW! Very unprecedented, I think. Most people have been getting notice that their court date is in 2 weeks or so. For some reason, our director did not know until today that our court date is tomorrow, November 20. So, I have been pacing the floor all evening and calling friends and family with the good news. I feel like I should be doing something right now to get ready for the trip, but have no idea what I can do this evening. Plus, we don't know if we will for sure be traveling in 3 weeks as we are working with the State of Illinois to get approval for travel (long story:) I know it will all work out and somehow God will provide all the money, time and energy it will take to be ready to go get our little boy. So, I will be praying tonight that God will cause things to go smoothly tomorrow in order for him to be officially ours. Then, I will post pictures! ....Yeah!!!!
