feels so good to stretch my legs.....

Welp, we made it! We got to the Babies home about 1am. It was exhausting, but good; Thank you, Jesus! The Lord has already answered some very specific prayer requests and we are so thankful for His faithfulness. We have a few more specific requests, and we would love for to you shake the heavenlies along with us.

At 11am our time (3am Indiana time) on Friday Jan 13th we will be in court and we're praying for these things specifically:

• Pray the Judge shows up. There is a Judging conference going on and we're praying he will come and see his cases as he has said he would.
• After meeting with our lawyer, we found out we're waiting for one signature for our case to be more 'open and shut'. Please pray that Margret (she the probation officer who has investigated our case) would show us some mercy and agree to sign paperwork our lawyer has already paid her for. The wording on one of her documents needed clearing up, which she did, however, she has yet to sign it. Please lift her up and pray she will sign in time for Friday.
• Please pray for quick court and that our judge is happy with the investigation. We're told he's a very meticulous judge (which we're very thankful for!) but pray that he finds our lawyer's work satisfactory.We also are praying that he is satisfied enough to grant us a quick (and favorable!!) ruling.
• Finally, we ask that you lift our friends, the Stonebrooks, up as well. The judge will see them right after he sees us. The Stonebrooks are adopting 2 children, one with special needs(and she needs to come home asap!). There are a few things that need to happen by Friday, so I ask that you pray for their case as well.

Love has grown leaps and bounds! I'm amazed how much can change in such a short amount of time! Trey is smitten and we can't wait to get that boy HOME! Please continue to pray that we can all come home together!
