My Dad says that Angela does not look good - dressed inappropriately, face puffy, etc., and that her lawyer was not prepared.
From here, we wait until all the psych evals are finished, and then the judge will review the findings and decide who should have custody. This will take some time. I have passed along all the very wise advice you have given me, and Eric said he will ensure that another adult is with him whenever he sees the children. And if he does not keep a diary, I will give him a very big pinch!!! :)
Thank you so much, my dear brothers and sisters, for laying my niece and nephews best interests before our Great Lord! I will keep you informed of any further developments. May you each have the best of holidays, and your heart's desires!
Prayers from TX
Wonderful!!!! Thank you so much for the update!
I guess I don't need to tell you to have a joyous Thanksgiving! You've already got one! Bless you, your brother and his children! I'm soooooo happy for you all!
That was definitely a good suggestion, that your brother include a third adult as a witness, perhaps a minister or social worker of his aquaintance.
prayers continue
Prayers - and a boatload of Praise - heading up!
I am truly glad to hear the joy in your post. :) Happy thanksgiving to you and your family. God bless.
Thank you God! It looks like brighter days are ahead for these precious children and their dad. We do hope the mom gets the help she needs, but the children need to be in a stable home and loving environment.
One small bit of advice. A small tape recorder in his pocket that is voice activated wouldn't hurt either. I'm not suggesting leading the children into anything, but IF they should decide to confide in him in anyway..... proof's in the pudding.
Happy Thanksgiving.... our prayers will continue.

OH MY, THANKS BE TO GOD!
I was hoping to get an update today! God is good!
Happy Thanksgiving indeed, and continued prayers!
Thank God Aracelis. I'm so glad your brother can visit with those kids. I truly belive that prayers in numbers are especially heard by Our Lord. Thanksgiving day wishes to all of you and glad you can all breath a little sigh of relief right now. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day with your family. Your brother is blessed to have such a loving, supportive family. And we are all blessed to have such a compassionate group of people here to pick each other up when times are tough.
So happy to hear the news! Sounds like things went well, and that the judge will be sure Angela follows through with the evaluations (our next step also).
What a wonderful Thanksgiving gift! Prayers and thoughts continue, and please give Eric our love! I have a very good feeling that things will go well for him and the children. Hopefully Angela will get the help she needs, but the children are the most important thing now, and I'm sure Eric will provide a loving environment for them with the help of your family. Please keep us informed!
Happy Thanksgiving to you all!!
Great news!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy for your brother and his children. What a relief this must be for your entire family, and a great start for the holiday season. More prayers that things will continue to work out for Eric and the children.
What great news!!!! Praise God for answering our prayers. I think I'll still keep your niece, nephew and brother in my prayers until they are settled in with dad for good and mom gets the help she needs. I am so happy for you all.
