News, sort of, and a DVD
I called our coordinator the minute I walked out of work today to see if there was any new news about that Novembe date. She finally called me back this afternoon to tell me she didn't know anything. So no news.
She said the Russian coordinator was going to the region this week and hopefully she'd get to talk to the judge and get us in. But it might also be pushed to early December. I'm okay with that. I guess I have to be. She said she still thinks we'll get in this year though. I already invited guests to Andrei's birthday party so he better be there too!
The only thing I'm worried about is a mid to late December court date because we'd have to come home and leave Andrei there. All the government things are closed for the holidays - and Russia's Christmas holidays stretch to January 7th. Then we would have to go back to Russia after all that to get him and bring him home. As much as I'd love to, we wouldn't be able to afford to stay there the whole holiday time. But we'll worry about later, if we have to.
So our coordinator told us to start packing and be ready, because we'll only have a short notice before we have to go - maybe 10-14 days.
Plus!!! We got a happy letter today! We got a DVD from the agency with a little 2 minute clip of Andrei and his friends playing outside - recorded last month. He looks the same - he's still wearing the Superman hat we sent him back with. :) We also got a message through a friend through the coordinator through his orphanage director that he's doing well and waiting for us. :melt: I miss him. I'm really really anxious.
Excuse me now while I go watch that video for the 5th time.
