ONE BIG PUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We need your help....

OK... so I was planning to post about Ali's birthday... because let me just say... I HIT ONE OUT OF THE PARK THIS TIME... YES I DID. I will post about that later. Today we have more pressing issues... and it will need the help and prayers of everyone out there. This is very urgent... and vitally important! OK... if you have read the blog for long, you will remember LUCAS. We need prayers and we need them RIGHT NOW. Specifically pray that the judge will sign off on the Certificate of Abandonment this FRIDAY, DECEMBER 14th...so that Lucas' case can be filed with the Central Authority. This is very important. Many of you know that they did pass the Ortega Law this week. They have made provisions (supposedly...) for those of us that are already in process. For Lucas, however... this is not a good thing. THIS FRIDAY - DECEMBER 14th IS THE LAST CHANCE FOR THE JUDGE TO SIGN OFF ON THE COA. Please pray that the judge's heart will be softened... that he will see that unless he gives over the COA... that this new law could prevent Lucas from being able to come home. It is a terrifying thought for any parent. We have had to deal with those thoughts the last few months. I wouldn't wish this stress on anyone. Please pray for Lucas, pray for the judge... and pray for my dear friend, Jane. As a mother - I can't imagine a more difficult day than this Friday will be. Please join me in asking God for a miracle for this little boy! God is good! He has already worked so many miracles for so many of our friends... and this is Lucas' time for a miracle!
