The bad news is that she did not waive the 10 day waiting period.
The good news is that Dominic will now get a chance to travel to Russia with mom.
The bad news is that we have to go home and come back, leaving Julianna in that “home”.
Everything went well in court…Kenny and I looked great and were excellent with our statements to the court. We answered every question impeccably. At the end the PROSECUTOR asked the judge to waive the 10 day waiting period. Sveta said that has NEVER happened.
When the judge came back into the room after 5 minutes, she said we have been accepted as the adopted parents. She said she would not waive the 10 day period because there is no strong pressing reason that she needs to leave the home before the 10 days. (I guess that’s her opinion!!! I wonder how she would like to live there? Little anger…sorry!)
So…we are allowed to visit tomorrow…don’t know yet about Saturday. We’ll be leaving for home on Sunday, July 25.
This is the part where my good friend Sister Rita reminds me that this is all God’s plan. Ok, Sister…I hear you from Russia. More on the blog later……………
