Court Day

It is 7:30 Monday morning here in Vladivostok. We will meet with our social worker today at noon and then leave for court which is scheduled for 2PM. If all goes well, we will be able to pick-up the children tomorrow afternoon and be able to keep them during the 10-day wait period. The kid's aunt has requested to meet with us before we take them from the orphanage. I am glad we will be able to meet her. This is something we wanted to try and do back in December. We want her to know how much we love the children and that she has nothing to worry about. From the little we have been able to learn of her, she is a good person and has maintained contact with the children.

For our family back home, please say a prayer for Jeremy. Poor kid has had to deal with animal problems for the past three days. He had to take one dog to the vet and he just told us one of the horses got out into another pasture. Tomorrow he will have to mend fence lines until I can get home and make a permanent fix.

Hope to have some good news later today regarding the court proceedings.
