We are about to embark on our 2nd trip to Russia - Plane leaves Columbus tomorrow at 12 noon. This one will be the one where the judge says Olesya is ours forever! (hopefully) Prayers are requested on November 15, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. (our court date and time) for the judge to allow Olesya to be ours and for us to finally become parents after many years.
The weather over there is freezing! Totally opposite as it was back in June where we were wishing for air conditioning. Steve and I are so very excited to get to see Olesya again. It's going to be another long trip..grueling plane ride and train ride... but that is what it takes to get to my daughter.
From what I understand at this moment... the judge decides if there is a 10 Business day waiting period.. 10 day waiting period - or 10 days are waived... we are of course hoping that they are waived (even though it probably is very likely). It takes 5 days to get Olesya's passport in Tambov (no exceptions)... then I am told it takes 3 more days in Moscow to get what we need from there... I know we have to visit the US embassy...and Olesya has to have a physical... not sure what else... lots of running around...hurry up and wait - exactly what we've been doing this whole process.
So here we go again... this time when we come home we will be parents. Steve and I are so very excited and just can't wait to see Olesya again.... she is about to be covered in kisses and hugs!!!
3rd trip plans:
The plan (right now) is to fly out again on 11/26/11 and return sometime around December 7 or so...no exact dates yet.
Deep breaths.... Count to 10.... This process is about to be over. God bless everyone going through this process.
Hold on baby - we're coming!
