Extra prayer for court

We have run into another little snag along this journey of adoption.
In Ethiopia the living birthparents must appear in court for a kind of final relinquishment. Our boys father is deceased but their mother was supposed to appear in court. We received very sad news yesterday from our agency that mom is very ill. She is unable to sit up or walk.
Our court date is in less than 24 hours and we need her to appear in court. I know she would want this last bit of peace knowing her boys have a family and are going to be provided for.

I was so sad when I got the news because we had hoped we could meet her in Ethiopia after passing embassy. We wanted to ask her questions, take pictures....anyway I am so sad that she is so sick.

Please pray for her, she needs strength to make it to court. Please pray for the courts, judges and anyone else who needs to find favor in our case.
