Ruling on Sept. 3rd?

Hello from the Hurleys once again,
Here and the internet cafe are the only places we can get any internet access, so communication has been slow in coming!

Our court hearing went pretty well. Our judge said he would give us a ruling Wed, Sept. 3rd. This is a good thing! I am always hesitant to jump for joy though, only because we are in a foreign country after all, and anything can happen.

Adam was a trooper and did great, not making a peep the entire time...snacks help that way.

The judge did ask me a few questions and spoke with our lawyer about our paperwork. When Aaron was in Uganda 4 months ago he gained foster custody of Adam. Our application to foster had been approved and we were given a stamp and signature indicating as much. However, the judge asked, "what was the result of the application?". Our lawyer Sam said, "it was approved".
Basically, the paperwork we already possess is enough to satisfy anyone that we have been approved to foster, but our judge wants to see another piece of paper indicating this. This paper does not exist.
Sam will speak with the judge on Monday, the 25th and we pray the judge will be satisfied with what he's got.

Once we get a written ruling we can move forward. Ugandan passport for Adam must be obtained, as well as a Visa. Sounds easy enough, but not so. Please pray that ALL the people who need to be in their offices would be, and that they would see the joy in efficiency. =)

Tom and I had church with the Hurleys this morning which was great. Everyone is so very nice and loving. What a blessing to stay here as "extended family".

I miss you my sweet family. Love you loads. Be good!
