As we waited, we spent our time getting ministry tasks in order, and also adding a bit to Elias' room. There are no decorations available to buy in Pader for a baby's room, so we made our own!
Now, the wait is over. We're going to Soroti on Monday. On Tuesday morning, the Child Welfare Officer will come to the children's home and witness handing Elias into our care. The care order has not been processed yet. It seems there is a delay in the courts. However, the authorities have seen that it is time for Elias to come into a family. And so, they are able to sign a "Form of Undertaking" to transfer him into our care, while we wait for the official "Care Order" that will officially make us Elias' (foster) parents!
Praise the Lord!
