A glimmer of hope...

Ok, so I know I should not get too excited and should not put too much hope in this date, but I heard from our attorney today.  He said that as long as the situation with the courts gets resolved and he doesn't run into any hang-ups on his end, we should be able to get a court hearing for late April or early May.  Woo hoo!!  Wow, that's only about 6 weeks away.  Today my mind has been racing with all of the things to get ready so we can go.    But it is so nice to think that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and that in a short amount of time, we might get to hold Mercy in our arms. 

Still no word of resolution in Uganda.  One woman got a ruling today with what looks to be the correct wording, but she does not know if this will be accepted by the Embassy.  It seems that the Embassy is leery of accepting any ruling right now until an official stance is given to them by the Ugandan Chief Justice.  I've been told that one of the head judges has been out of the country and just returned this week.  They need his opinion in order to form an official stance.  Hopefully, now that he has returned a resolution will be reached soon.   Pray for the families that are stuck there right now.  It's been 6 weeks and they do not have any idea when they might get to come home.  This is a huge financial and emotional burden for them.
