And the Ruling is.....

Email received from Lawyer this morning:

"Dear Trent,
We are pleased to inform you that the order for legal guatdianship was made today in your favour for both children. I spoke to the Judge and he regrets the delay. Its his first posting, about one month so far.

Blessings

Dorothy"

We also received a phone call about 2am from the agency representative in Uganda. It was a bad connection but we were able to hear the ruling.

We don't know what is next other than getting the passports and then meeting with the Embassy. The Embassy could be as quick as 2 days or as long as 2 months. We have an e-mail out to them to get an idea of what we are looking at. We are still likely looking at January for travel.

It is still wonderful to hear that we are done with the courts and now are officially guardians of 3. The actual adoption takes place in the states.

Thank you all for your comforting words over the last month. We are blessed with amazing friends and family.
