We received the ok to skype Jahsin on his birthday this past Tuesday. We were very excited to be able to see him and talk to him. Unfortunately Jaci had to travel to Seattle for a funeral so we were not able to talk to him as a family. Jaci did skype him with her family Monday evening as Matt and Jaxon listened from the phone. It was a little overwhelming for Jahsin. Jaci's mom was there to translate for us and that was very helpful. It was during their playtime so he was not very excited to have to sit and and look at strangers on the computer. He did get happy when I showed him a picture of Jaxon and he called him brother. We are hoping to be able to skype him again next week so that Matt and Jaxon can talk to him.
We also received the translated version of his monthly updates. He seems to be full of energy and life. He is not a picky eater and loves rice and noodles! Sounds like he will fit right in with our family. The best part about reading the reports was to see our names listed as his mother and father.

FINALLY SOME GOOD NEWS!
After two months of waiting for an update, we finally got one! We received an email today from our caseworker that informed us we have already had our court date. This is the court date we have been waiting for.... We were told that court was held on May 11th and everything went well. I guess it was an answered prayer, because we didn't have to worry about the hearing, since we didn't know it was happening!
Currently we are waiting for a formal decree from the courts, and then once received, we will be traveling within 3-4 weeks. What does this mean? Well...depending on a couple scenarios, we will be traveling sometime in July.
We are EXTREMELY blessed with the news of the court date, however we are still praying/needing prayers for the remainder of the process. It is becoming more real everyday, and we are in crunch time to get everything ready.
We thank you all for your prayers. It has been a LONG process, but we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. The best news today, was that we are going to be able to Skype Cheng in the next couple weeks, and this will be the first time we get to talk to him. We are hoping to be able to do it on his birthday, which is next Tuesday, June 8th. We would appreciate if you all would keep praying, and we will start updating more often when the information arrives.
