Round 2

This morning, 5 of the 8 documents were presented to the judge and she was happy with them. The remaining 3 did arrive and are being translated right now. They will be presented to the judge tomorrow at 9:00 am when we go for Round 2. The remaining 3 are supporting documents to the ones she has already seen so we think that these will only make her happier--we hope.

Please continue to pray for translation and for us to go through Round 2 at 9:00 am on Wednesday. This would be 10:00 pm your time on Tuesday. Please be praying for us at this time. The first time was already tough enough, we really don't want to be grilled in such a manner again. Also, don't forget...THE 10 DAYS TO BE WAIVED. That should be decided tomorrow.

We have already discussed with the orphanage director that if the 10-day is waived tomorrow, we will receive immediate custody of our daughter. However, if it is not waived, we will not be able to have custody until the end of the 10 days.

Our friends that are here with us completed their court date yesterday. It was also tough for them, but they did not have to provide more documentation. They did not get their 10-day waived, but were able to receive immediate custody of their daughter. They just cannot leave the region until that time is up. The difference for them is that their daughter is older and from a different orphanage.
