A Reprieve of Sorts...........

We're just back from our court hearing. After sitting from 8 - 9:30 the mother walked into the waiting area and we knew we'd been set-up. Another hour passed before we were finally called to speak w/the judge. After that Joyce and I felt pretty good and she said she only wanted to ask the kids if they wanted to go w/their mother or live w/us. Problem? Karen panics in the presence of authority and will do nothing but cry, which is what she did and we don't know how the judge interpreted that.

Finally the judge said we could go and take the kids w/us. She told she would be conferring w/a psychairist and then call us back. We don't know if that is today, tomorrow, next week, or next year.

Please keep praying.
