last week we were told the girls are going home. probably by school. tuesday at 11am we were told they will go home this friday at 6:00pm. unless the judge says otherwise tomorrow, we will be childless by fathers day. it's ok. we knew it was coming. just not so abruptly. it makes me sad. very sad. but i have high hopes for them as a family and they might as well get started being that family. pray for them. pray for us. pray for the kids. and did i mention pray for me?
tonight we went out for dinner for my birthday and then came home and took some "family" pictures. it was very much like the calvin & hobbes cartoons where you try and try and try. i think we got it on the 7th take. i would love to post but i can't because of confidentiality. they are so funny. we have thoroughly enjoyed and loved them. and with that comes fought and disciplined and then fought some more. i can only hope we planted seeds. i'm going to REALLY cross my fingers that they will some day darken the doorway of our church so i can still see them. they love coming to church. their parents asked if we would be willing to keep in contact after they go home because of how much the girls have bonded with us. we of course said absolutely. pray pray pray.

You've done an outstanding job! You've planted as you've been asked to do! God does the growing.
They will never forget their time with you! I'm sure that many seeds were planted. So proud of you guys. Still praying and believing for good things to come your way.
Thinking of you guys. Hang in there, Chen.
