The police showed up at Heshima with a Children's Officer looking for me. They needed directions to Haven of Hope to locate Kate. My social worker, Elizabeth, met them at Heshima and escorted them to the home.
Apparently, there is a dispute over her placement and I do not know the details. I know that Kate's mother is in jail. The courts want to SEE that she is indeed in our home and being well cared for.
Kate has been summoned to court at 8am tomorrow morning. From my understanding, it is just to prove that she is in our care and doing well. The social worker does not seem to think they intend to take her.
Julius, who is on our HOH Board of Directors, will be taking Kate and Elizabeth to court tomorrow. (This will be at 11pm tonight CST.)
Please continue to pray that things will go smoothly and there are no major issues. We trust that Kate is in our care because God has placed her there for this season of her life; that we are to love her and care for her while she waits for her "forever family." Though we don't know if that forever family is her biological family or not, we DO trust that Kate's life is in His hands and if she is returned to her biological family He will be faithful to protect and care for her. If she is not returned to them, we will continue to love her in our home until God prepares her forever family to receive her.
