Day 56

Ok we got the verbal ruling and our orders which is the short version of our written ruling…..it is official Elliott is our boy…..so that is the good news Bad news I went to apply for passport today and came into a little road block there is one man in all Uganda apparently that needs to give me a letter to allow me to get Elliott’s passport …well he is out of the office till Thursday….which may put me coming home for thanksgiving…plus embassy will be close for the holidays…this man is suppose to be in his office for short while to check his desk…so I will be there waiting to see if he will ask his sectary to write it up then some how get him to sign it…we don’t think he is leaving town just in conference…we will even take him the letter if need be…the issue is we don’t want to be pushy because they hate that…if not pray when he get in on Thursday I can apply for passport on the same day and it might be olds wise tale but people of got it back in 24 hr….then the embassy may have mercy on us knowing I want to get home for holidays….they have done it before …all our papers are in order….trust me ….there is nothing missing…I called the embassy and got right through to the guy which the lady at amani said she has not been able to and as called several times….he was very nice and said to call a couple day even day of or day advance to make app…they just don’t take walk ins….the guy knows our story because we called him when we found out Ethan had parents….he is the one that said all your papers our here if you actually get guardianship of orphan…he said right away that all our papers from usa were there….but our written can be done any time the lawyer said they our written already they just need to be typed out…so they will be done by Thursday if not before… so then I will move out of baby home…so putting it retrospect
Elliott is our boy and I know God will show Himself just like he did in court….I have know worries God is still in control and He will work it together for good in His time!!! Elliott is doing so good today he walked around the shopping center holding my hand which is huge since he doesn’t let me put him down…and he stayed clean in the same outfit all day….plus he was great with all the up down and running around we did…on the way home as soon as we got in car he fell asleep….He is such a gift and a gem….He got to baby home in august he was abandoned at police station on july 31..so even if we started with Amani he would not have been lined up with us….plus how fast they moved for us so Aaron could get home was just a act of God…there is no other little boy here that my heart swells up for…I know it was all God that got here he is not going to drop us now….fun no …But soo worth it!!!
