Really.
It's just a piece of paper.
So...I could look at this two ways --
1) It's just paper! Seriously, is there a reason for the torture of prolonging this process over a piece of paper!?!
OR
2) It's just paper (or tree pulp as Grace put it) - paper can't possibly stand in the way of a future of happiness with Koko as part of our family. We will be strong and faithful.
And so, "come back Friday" is the latest directive to Gladney's in country staff. I'm specifically going to be praying for Document #1. "Dear document #1, please find your way into our file so that we can get on to Document #2, Document #3, and a court date in Addis, and a favorable ruling, and a reunion with Koko that will be the most amazing unforgettable moment in our lives."
"Fri-day. Fri-day. Fri-day."
The cheers are starting to quiet down slightly, but don't worry they're still there.
Love to you all,

I read your post and admire your strength - your post gives me a lump in my throat - I know much of how long you have been waiting. It feels so unfair - but instead of stomping my feet I will join you in prayer. Know that one more person is lifting up their voice to God for paper #1 on Friday.
Peace
Hard to know what to say....other than we love you and we are so thankful for you. Can't wait to get our sweet girls home....sooner than later preferably!! :)
Many hugs!
I will be in adoration on Friday morning, and will be praying for this for you...and every day between adn beyond if needed. Hang in there!
Praying hard for you and paper #1!
