Tidbit taken from Christi's blog, Pondering Pureshots:
"Well, the first hearing has officially come and gone. It was on September 19 in Taiwan. To the best of my understanding, the judge reviews the case during this hearing. He now has to contact all the involved parties and make sure this is really in the best interest of the child and what everyone wants. The next step is the first ruling and we are still waiting to find out when that will be. Then the final step is the final decree, which we have to be present in Taiwan for. Then we get to bring him home!! So it is getting closer, but could still be a long ways away. We just don't know anything yet. Still just waiting. But the house is starting to look more and more like a baby is coming. So, those are today's updates. "
So, that's the news for now! We are all still hoping and praying that Nate and Christi can bring him home to Washington by the end of October.
