Thanks for the replies - I guess this is just going to be a situation where we dont get full disclosure and we dont get all our questions answered and at some point just need to go on faith.
Startedover - you are correct to be a firm believer that the answer will come LOUD and CLEAR. It already has. We know that for what ever reason it appears no one in this child's family wants to take care of him - and God has placed him on our doorstep. This isnt something we searched out, he brought this to us and so we dont really feel there is a decision to be made...the answer was always yes.
Part of me just wishes that we had more control over the situation in the courts and the decisions that will be made that will greatly affect our family - but for now I guess we have faith that He is in control, do the stuff on the checklist and show up at court on the 22nd and see what happens.
