Another in court....

Baby C had his paperwork enter the court yesterday . So, now the wait begins for a court date. He is already AIT approved, meaning, USA immigration says he can go to the USA as he meets the standards of an orphan. Now we just need to get him through the courts here. Please pray that we get a court date quickly. The end of January is Chinese New Year. So January only has 17 working days in it here in Taiwan. If we don't go to court BEFORE then, that we can handle. But would like a notification of court date BEFORE then.

In January we will be sharing some good news of things going on here. We are really excited, yet scared at what the Lord is doing here in Taitung. We need prayer..............God has plans and we want to be prepared "don't be afraid, only believe."

I am sitting here....

waiting for a mom.........one of our to be adopted babies, the mom wants to see him. She is not changing her mind, and her family has no idea she is sneaking out to see him. She called the other day to say the court appointed social worker was at her house, but she wasn't there just her mom. When the social worker asked if they were willing to allow him to visit when he was older, the grandma said NO.....they want this basically erased from their family history.

Mom is her now, baby is playing as any baby does. She is putting him to sleep, I think it is good for her. Now he is awake;-)

Some will say that we shouldn't allow this, the mom to come and visit. But if she wants to, I think then she needs to. We are not taking the baby and forgetting the birth mom all together, she does need to cut the cord so to speak. For some it takes time, for some who had planned on giving baby up early in the pregnancy, it doesn't take as much time. For moms to see baby is healthy and fine, that is a step for them.

Well, that is about here on our end. Baby C got AIT approval, so we are going to enter the courts as soon as we get the papers.

Ok, off to answer some questions.
