Court Hearing Scheduled

We received word today that our first court date is scheduled for December 2nd for Naveia and December 25th for Kai. This was bittersweet news because it has been our prayer to have them home before the end of the year, and now that will not happen. I had assumed we had already had Naveia's first hearing. However, we felt blessed to finally receive some news! I am overjoyed to have dates for the BOTH of them. It seems to our continued prayer to bring them home together is getting closer. If we get to bring them home together it is looking like sometime in February, hopefully closer to the 1st. It's completely out of my hands. I cannot even begin to describe to you how hard this process has been. This has been the longest and most challenging journey of our lives. In the end it will all be fulfilled in God great timing. The months to come are going to be filled with great anticipation for the arrival of our children. We also recieved our November UPDATES : Kai seems funny and very intelligent for a two year old. He speaks full sentences and uses the potty. One time while on the potty he asked "get me the newspaper" and then proceeded to "read" it. Ha ha another funny guy. He has a foster sister that lives with him. So he is getting good practice at being a little brother and not an only child. He is very attached to his foster mother. When they told him he was going to be placed with us. He said "mama not go to America, I not go either". Please be praying for his transition and the grieving he is going to have to go through. Makes me so sad. Naveia seems very outgoing and creative. I learned that her new foster family also speaks Vietnamese and that she is picking it up very well. She will have English to add to her list of spoken languages soon. She has a younger foster brother that moved-in in July. So she is getting good practice being a be sister. It sounds like the two of them have a love/hate relationship and she initiates of most fights. She will scold him loudly and stomp her foot. However, when he needs comfort he comes to her and she gives him hugs. No new pictures yet, but they say they are on there way.
