Some things to consider in your prayers:

This is a list of prayer requests related to our court date. You likely received this over email too. I left out a very important one! Which is that the judge will allow us to bypass a foster period and move straight to adoption. Dustin will not be present at the court. The lawyer felt our case would be smoother without him there.

Here are the rest of the prayer requests:

-For everyone to show up to the court - on time! (judge, lawyer, social workers also known as SWOs, orphanage staff)
-For the court date to not be shifted for any reason
-For all proper/necessary documentation to be present and accurate
-For the witnesses to be truthful - especially important in the case of the social worker (not known for his honesty)
-For the Regional SWO to keep his promise to us - that he will recommend a "final adoption order" to the judge
-For our lawyer to be competent, charismatic, and willing to fight for us
-For the judge to be kind-hearted and truly hear Moses' story
-For the judge to uphold the law and not be prejudiced against foreigners
-For the judge to make a positive ruling, even in my absence (he has the power to refuse a ruling if all parties aren't present)
-For Dustin's and my peace of mind while we anxiously await the results

Our hearing is schedule for 8:30 am (meaning 11:30 pm our time TONIGHT) though the lawyer doesn't expect the judge to show up until at least 9. Dustin thinks it's more likely that our case will be heard in the afternoon.

I'll keep you posted.
