Day before court
To say that we are nervous is an understatement. We met with the court translator and she coached us and told us some things aobut Andrei's history.
We both have to give a speech about our personal history, job, education, marriage, and why we would make good parents.
Then we have to formally ask the court to grant us parental rights.
Tomorrow we will be up at 6, perfect our speeches, partially pack, get Andrei ready (an ordeal in itself); breakfast at 8, court at 10. Then a lunch break and we go back to hear the judge's decision.
Andrei will be with the other family while we're in court, thank goodness.
Then tomorrow night we'll be back on the train already.
So if you're up at 1AM CST, think of us and say a little prayer :)

Sadly for me, I'm sure I WILL be up around that time with Mr. I-wake-up-5-times-a-night. I'll definitely be praying for you!
It's crazy to me that you already have Andrei! That alone should be slightly reassuring. :)
I'm so excited for you guys that I can hardly stand it! Let us know when things are official!!!!!
Hello, I've been reading your blog for about a week now, and I've gotta say that I am nervous and excited for you guys right now. Were praying for your family here! God bless you and safe travels.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you both.
