First foster child, first permanency hearing, help!

We've had our fs for almost 9 weeks. He has been in care for over a year, in 2 previous foster homes. His permanency hearing is the middle of this week. There are 2 different relatives with approved homestudies that are being looked at. We have no idea what to expect. We don't want to stand in the way of relative placement but want the judge to understand that if relative placement does not seem good that we would love to raise him.
We are very nervous. The relatives will have a visitation prior to the hearing. They will all probably be in the waiting area at the court house too. Yikes!
We are trying to scramble to assemble a life book of some sort so he can maybe remember us. He has attached to us already and we just want what is best for him. Any advice on how to handle the whole situation would be great.
