Have to get a blog in today - we have been busy!
We had court yesterday in Novo Vodologa and we were all nervous - they asked us a bunch of questions and also asked Stas, he was nervous, but they chuckled at his answers.
It wasn't too long, and then we were done..yay!
We were kind of hoping the judge would waive the 10-day waiting period, but she did not.
So after that we drove to Kharkov to get a head start on Stas' birth certificate and stuff - we made it in time and got home later, it was a stressful day. Also had to ride in a cigarette smelling car and it made me sick, and then the driver ran over a dog - which was horrible to me!! Awful. This picture is of the car we have spent so much time in - we're looking forward to our decent cars in America....
Today we got going early to Kharkov to get passport stuff done for Stas - we were gone all day and we met up with Stas and the social worker to get Stas' passport picture taken. It went well.
No problems.
So we hightailed it to the 4:30 train and made it - to Kiev, we have to go to the U.S. consulate tomorrow early and then Michael leaves to go back home to NY Saturday, lucky dog!!!
After the consulate, the missionary friends of ours will take us into Kiev a bit.
I will stay here and leave Monday to go back to the boondocks for the rest of the waiting period, Stas is waiting for me to come back - I can take him out of the orphanage for good on the 11th! He is so ready to go he can't concentrate at school and keeps getting in trouble!
Okay, have to hit the sack, early day - will write again tomorrow.
