We know that this blog is well overdue...please forgive us. So many of you have been praying for us and supporting us in our journey to adopt our little girl from Uganda, Africa. I say our little girl, but she's not really so little. She turned 9 on July 17th. Many of you know her as Esther. We recently spoke with her on the phone and asked what name she wanted to go by when she arrives. She has told us that she would like to go by Tracy. Her given name is Tracy Esther Nakayiza. When she was travelling in the states, there were 2 members of the choir named Tracy, so they called her Esther. She said she is more used to Tracy, so this is the name we will call her.
For many of you it has been quite some time since you've received an update on the status of the adoption. It has been fairly quiet for quite awhile. We recently found out that the judge assisting us in Uganda was waiting on our paperwork. Due to some minor roadblocks, it took some time to get all of the information needed and get those documents sent. TODAY (Sept. 16th), I went to the post office and sent all of the necessary paperwork. Please pray for them to arrive safely and intact. We have been told that it will take 8 business days for them to arrive. As we understand it, once our documents arrive in Uganda, they will go to court and file them. At that time, the judge will set a court date for everything to be finalized and that is when we will travel to Uganda. We really have no time frame for this. Previously, we have tried to set time frames in place, but to no avail. So, while we may hope and pray for this to be soon, we really have no idea. We will continue to update this blog so that you can walk with us and know what's happening. We love to answer any questions you may have and we love to talk about Tracy:) Our girls are really excited about the addition of a sister and we are all very excited for her to join us.
Thank you so much for your prayers and support. We are so blessed to have such a great circle of friends and family surrounding us. Tanya
