Need some prayers

This Thursday is our court date, June 4th.
For those of you that do not know how this works, we have someone appointed as our power of attorney and she will go to court for us in Ethiopia. If we were to pass we would then receive travel dates and start packing for our trip to bring our baby boy home. The hang up here is that there is a delay in some adoption cases due to an abandonment investigation that is going on. If the investigation is not completed by Thursday the court will not see our case. We will then need to wait for the investigation to be completed and then our case will be seen. As far as I know right now if our case is not seen on Thursday we won't be notified of a new date we'll just need to sit and wait for a call saying we passed court. The court will close in August and reopen in October for the rain season in Ethiopia. If we don't go to court before August we will need to wait until October. Our case worker had told us that in November there was a delay similar to this one and it took about 2 months to get through everything and get caught up. We have a great deal of Faith and believe that all things happen for a reason but I'm not too sure how much more of this roller coaster ride I can stomach. There is nothing I can do but pray that the Ethiopian courts can move swiftly and finish the investigation so our little one can come home this summer yet.
