News...No News....Progress????

We received an email from Janiece (CHI Coordinator in St. Louis). Janiece heard back from Irina (in Vladivostok). It appears that the orphanage signed the "Conclusion for Court". Therefore, they have been instructed to send the "Conclusion for Court" to the Ministry of Education. Once it arrives at the MOE, they will look over everything to make sure that we are all set. If this is the case (LET'S PRAY THAT IT IS....), then they will go ahead and schedule our court date. They are still optimistic that we will go to court in January.

Regarding our documents, apparently, Janiece doesn't know what will need to be updated because it's all relative to the judge. If the judge requires certain things to be updated, then we have to update them. However, some judges will take "year-old" documents. So, let's pray that we don't have to re-do too many things.

So, we have no news....but we'll just say that progress is taking place. At least, we have some information. This is soooo helpful during this wait! We are praying that we will hear about our court date by Christmas. Wouldn't that be a GREAT Christmas present? :o) We think so. :o)

Just wanted to update you all! Have a GREAT Day!

Well, let's hope your court date gets set soon and that it will be a smooth process. Glad to hear your mom is recuperating from her surgery. Thanks for visiting our blog!

That is wonderful! Bring lots to do at the Inn during your 10 days! Puzzles, workout videos, knitting, etc! The time can go very slowly! So glad you got news and that it is so encouraging. Come on January!

This is great news. We haven't heard anything, but we knew you and a few other families who traveled first would receive news or court dates first. This lets us know that things continue to move in Vlad and we hopefully will travel shortly after you. We are still anticipating an early February court date, but it would be great if we too could travel sooner!

We'll pray we both get court dates prior to Christmas!!
