Well, the girls are now in my in-laws' custody until the case in March. It will be a long five weeks, but at least the kids are with family.

The case itself is going to be nasty, according to the lawyer. Not surprising -- the CPS ladies are real manipulators. I ended up having a bit of an argument with them over some very improper questions they were asking just before walking into court, all meant to further their case rather than to help the girls' placement. Leave it to me to take on an untouchable agency, but it was clearly coming from ulterior motives.

My MIL is going to be homeschooling them until then; it's easier and cheaper than putting them back in the Christian school in our area for just a few weeks. I'm hoping she gains a better understanding of the whole process through this; she's a licensed music teacher (retired) and only slightly supportive of our efforts. But it will be good for the girls to be at home with Grandma for a while.

So thanks for your prayers, and please continue to pray for the whole situation. We're far from done.
