We are very proud to say that court went very well and we are officially parents to Darya Elena. Oh.... and yes.... the 10 days were waived!!!! We won't be picking Darya up until Wednesday :(.... oh well... just a few more hours. Today was very busy with court, getting her birth certificate, registering for her passport, and obtaining her plane ticket back to Moscow.
I've been chomping at the bit to post, but we have not had internet access at our hotel! We had to walk to an internet cafe.
Let me say it again....... GOD IS GOOD!
Cathy and Mike Moeller also had a successful court date. They have been there with us every step of the way. We have so enjoyed their company and sweet sweet spirit. I fully believe that the Lord intended for us all to be together on this journey. Well for that matter... He put together so many wonderful people for us to be on this journey with including fellow CSS friends, family, and other close friends.
I'll leave you with a funny picture that was taken on Old Arbot Street in Moscow.... my favorite of all the Russia pictures. Stay tuned for pictures of the cutest little princess in the world! I'm sure that is debatable among a few of you guys.... but I'm a bit partial! :)))
Big, Big, Big, Big Hugs to all!!!
Kerry and Karen
