FRIDAY...where is Milos?

Well, Friday is here and we are SUPPOSED to be bringing Milos back to our apartment for a weekend visit.

We arrived and went to Jasmina's office. There has been a problem with getting all of the necessary paperwork. First of all, they are concerned that if we bring him here, then return him to the orphanage, he could be exposed while with us to H1N1 and infect the entire orphanage. Legitimate concern. We could just keep him, then, and not return him! Jasmina asked if we were willing to do that. WILLING? How great would that be???

So, we signed papers that we were asking permission to bring him to our apartment now, to keep him through the weekend, extending through the adoption ceremony day. Those have to be faxed to various officials for thier stamp of approval. At 2pm, we are still waiting for that.

We return to the orphanage in an hour. Jasmina says the approval could come as late as 4 and everything is ready if (WHEN???Please WHEN) it does come.

But it is Friday, and if it does not come by 4pm, he is stuck for another weekend. Please pray that it comes.

It is looking like the ceremony will be on Tuesday. Have not heard definitively that the approval for this has been signed, but we are strongly, tentatively planning for Tuesday.

Please pray that we can bring him back with us for this weekend...he belongs with us.
