Dear Victoria,
We are still waiting for word from your country as to when we can come back for our court hearing. One of the social workers that needs to do the work is on sick leave and so we have to wait until she is back to work. Until then I will continue to obsessively check my email every few hours waiting for word. Patience, patience, patience.
Love Mommy

Trip 2
Dearest Victoria,
We are back home and happy that we were able to have two great visits with you while we were in your country. It was so exciting to see you and for you to show us that you did remember us. When we were leaving after our last visit you were waving and blowing us kisses, it was so sweet. We were also able to get our medical appointments done while we were there. We were very lucky to be there at the same time as another mamma who is adopting a little girl with Down syndrome in your country. We are the first two families to adopt children with Ds in your country and we are definitely blazing new trails.
So our day at court did not go as planned and we are sad to report that we had to re-schedule our court date due to some missing paperwork. It was a hard day as we sat there and saw what unfolded in the court room and that we would not be able to bring you home as soon as we had hoped. For now we have another court date next week, but we will have to wait a few more days to see if it is possible to gather the missing paperwork by then.
We are trying to be as positive as we can and trust that we will see the reason this has happened when we look back. We are praying that Heavenly Father will help those in your country that are working day and night to make this happen.
Here are some of the pictures that we took in our visits with you.
Love Mommy

| Heading out to our spot |
 |
| You loved to sift through the fallen leaves and pick out the perfect ones to put in our pockets. |

| Playing with the matching game Aunt Wendy sent with us. |
 |
| The play dough didn't go over too well. When I handed it to you, you took a big bite out of it. Ha ha |
Love Mommy
