Dare to hope?

Our adoption case has been considered an 'open' case since our last court failure.
I guess that means that all needed paperwork has been submitted and now we have been waiting on signatures from MOWA.
Unfortunately, MOWA has been a little busy lately and all the 'open' cases have been piling up.
It's been 3 weeks of waking up every morning and wondering if this is the day and 3 weeks of going to bed disappointed. I have been having a hard time even believing that we will ever bring the boys home...I have to let them go in my heart, knowing that whether or not they ever become ours they will always be His. That thought has given me peace, but it doesn't diminish the longing I feel to grab those babies in my arms and never let them go.
So a lot of discouragement, a lot of why's and a lot of prayers!

This morning we heard that Wed.'s have been designated 'open court days'.
It is wonderful, encouraging news! There are a lot of cases stock-piled, and so it will take a while to get to all of them, but at least there is hope now that maybe, just maybe one of these weeks we will have a turn too!
Dare I hope?
