Update & Great News

Janie here:

Mommy isn't looking so I thought I would post an update about me and my little sister, Lexie.

On my adoption blog there are some pictures from this past weekend. You can find it HERE

Now for the exciting news about my little sister, Lexie!!! This morning when mommy got me up she told me that Lexie's first ruling came in! Yep, you read that right-just 11 days after the court hearing! Mommy says it must be an all-time record. Of course, she must be forgetting the past 7 weeks of re-scheduled courts....but all of that is behind us! Lexie is going to be coming home soon. Mommy says we now have to wait for the final ruling and then we will get an appointment with the AIT and go get Lexie. She told me that I went thru all the same process-I don't really remember any of that, but if she says so then I guess it happened.

She also told me about the big plane we are going to go on--and she told me all the things she is bringing to entertain me for the LONG flight. Then she told me that I am going to get to see all my loved ones in Taiwan again AND I will get to see my birth mom again. 

Mommy seems very emotional about that. She is glad that she will have the opportunity to ask my birth mom some more questions. I hear her praying for my birth mom a lot. Mommy always prays that my birth mom has peace and comfort in her life. I am not sure if I will get to see my birth dad again or not? 

Well, I am not allowed to show you a picture of Lexie yet--but I can give you a sneak peak. Everyone says she looks alot like me!

Great Court News!

GREAT COURT NEWS!! I got word today that my re-scheduled court for Lexie has been set for this Thursday (Sept. 30) in the morning....so on Wednesday night our time, the judge will hopefully be FINALLY hearing Lexie's case!! Now let's hope the judge has compassion for the delays and issues a quick first ruling!! Praising God tonight! Oh, and got a few new pics today too!!

Here is a sweet picture of Janie this past weekend!

Court Delayed Again

Court hearing for Lexie did not happen as scheduled on Monday. The typhoon was a strong one and the government offices (and courts) were closed. The first 2 dates were rescheduled b/c the social worker did not have the report completed to give judge and now this.....will this ever happen?

I am thankful that the babies, nannies, and birth moms are all OK...That is ultimately what is most important. I am just disappointed that the hearing still has not happened. Then after it finally does I still have to wait for first ruling, final decree, AIT appointment before I can travel to bring sweet Lexie home.....sigh.

Praying that it is rescheduled quickly and not too far out-then praying the judge has compassion that this has taken so long and gives a speedy ruling.

I'm coming baby girl! Hang in there! Janie and I cannot wait to meet you!

Typhoon

Got word that all the babies and mommies are safe in Taitung (Lexie's town). Attached is the latest.... Click HERE to see latest info:

My chinese fortune cookie today read: Good things come in small packages. One is coming your way.....

Hmmmmm :):)

More delays...

Feeling sad...don't know all the specific details, but apparently Lexie's court hearing was rescheduled AGAIN! So, more delays....I trust that God is in control and I know that HIS timing is always perfect, but for tonight this is how Janie and I feel about it....

(This picture was actually taken back in November 2009, but it is the only one I have of her upset...)
