Ok...so we are going to do something that makes me nervous to even think about. Remember how I had already filed our adoption finalization papers when we found out the next day that it wasn't going to work? Well, we had been assigned the court date of July 16th. I was going to go in and cancel it, but I didn't. It just didn't seem right to do. In talking with the attorney's we found out it was going to be hard to finalize here, so we thought our best option (and cheapest) was to go to FL. But all along this court date has remained. So now we are less than a week away, I called the clerk of court and no formal objections have been filed against our case. We have been waiting for our state to file a formal objection. Once the formal objection came, we were going to withdraw our case. Since we had the court date appointed, that is how they were going to have to stop us from finalizing here. I guess there are still a few days left that they possibly could, but we are going to try to show up and see what the judge determines. Ugh...that makes me nervous. I am not knowledgeable about legal matters in the least. So if he has any questions...we will have no idea how to respond appropriately. Our girls will be there in their matching dresses...do you think that will help our case?!?!?!? ;) Somehow I don't think cuteness affects judges decisions... If he denies it, well at least we tried. At least, the girls will know how it works and what the court proceedings are like. We will leave the courthouse with nothing lost, and will move forward with plans to go to FL. So I am asking you to please pray that this goes smoothly and according to the Lord's will. I am nervous about it, because to be honest...all of this legal stuff intimidates me. Please pray for peaceful hearts and that we can get this done.

I don't know, cuteness goes a LONG way in my book. Of course, maybe that's why I'm not a judge!!
