Court Tomorrow...pretty scared!

Hi everyone,
Court is tomorrow. We are pretty scared...we don't really know what's going to go down. We've been talking with other couples that have been to court and every couple seems to have a different experience and story of how the questions are asked and everything, SO we really have no way to prepare.

I (Jon) am just scared because sometimes when I'm very nervous, I leave important information out and I stumble over my words (YES, even though I'm a teacher). PLEASE PRAY that God would give us both clarity of mind and speech and wisdom to answer as He would. It's so scary that EVERYTHING that we have put into this adoption emotionally, spiritually, financially all rests on this one decision...AND Isaac's future. Although, all the other couples did say it seemed like the judge and the all of the people in the court were on our side and agreed with us.

Neither of us have ever been to court in any form, so it's a little scary that the first time we have to go is in another country and we don't completely know their customs...oh well, that's why God will put the words in our mouth.

Isaac had an AWESOME day today. He was so much fun; he was smiling and laughing, and enjoying every moment. We were able to take him out of the baby house on a car ride to the photography place to take his picture. He wasn't so fond of the way that they bundled him up, but after we got to the photo place and took off 5,000 layers he was his normal happy self...all of the workers in the photo place were blown away that he didn't cry because every single baby that is brought in for a passport picture cries...interesting ;-). I think that's because God set it in his heart that we are here to take care of him and love him and meet his needs.

11:00AM tomorrow morning, or 1AM in the morning for all of you. If you wake up in the middle of the night, please remember us in prayer!

We love you all,
Jon and Kristin
