Together Again Via SKYPE...

I love this program! Last year, it comforted greatly this anxious mama as her (then 12 year old) daughter was swept away by her grandparents for a Mediterranean cruise for two whole weeks. I don't know what I would have done if I couldn't SKYPE her regularly during her excursion to make sure she was happy and OK. Well, it has come to the rescue again.

We were able to see Jing-Qi again for the first time since last summer on Tuesday during our first SKYPE session. She looked healthy and happy to see us. They let us spend about 45 minutes with her, which was wonderful, although somewhat challenging to think up enough fun things to do to keep her occupied. For some reason, we couldn't hear their side of the conversation, but they could hear ours. They would type back responses until they found a headset for Jing-Qi to talk into. Then, we could finally hear her sweet little voice. It was great! Thank you to whoever thought this program up! I think we get to have another session with her maybe in a month. What a comfort!

Please pray that we will hear something on our court date soon and that everything will go smoothly with our process. We are planning to have a fundraising garage sale next month with a bunch of donated furniture, clothes, and things. I will post about it later as we get closer.
