A Modest YEAH!

I can't believe that my work, tears, and arguments have actually culmunated in the paperwork getting completed. Yup! It is done. The 24 documents have been signed, notarized, apostilled, and copied. They are going to FedEx right now to the agency. They'll have it tomorrow morning. Our deadline was 12/12 and they will get the paperwork on 12/10. YEAH! One big step forward.

We will now wait and see what happens. The agency and the coordinators in Russia are still trying to get our court date in late January. However, before we can go: our documents need to go to Moscow to get translated, then they need to go to the judge and he needs to review them, the judge needs to get all of Colby's documents from however is collecting them, everything needs to be up to date and organized, and it all needs to happen before the judge goes on his vacation in late January. Ugh! I'm not sure Mike nor I have had that much good luck ever. But, we will keep our fingers crossed, try to update a few more papers that I'm sure he will ask for, and just hope. I am not going to get my hopes up too high though. Everything has been such a struggle that I am sure we won't go until almost March. I don't want to be disappointed. If we go in January, that will be a big surprise. So, keep your fingers crossed for us and we will continue to WAIT and SEE!
