Today was a very big day as we went for court and it happened! Our court time was for 9:00am so we got there early, went through security and were the first case for the day. The judge and two witnesses, prosecutor (person who represents the government), our family, facilitator, and the social worker and attorney. And a big stack of our paperwork! The process went along well, we were very happy with very positive recommendations from all involved so the whole thing went smoothly, and shortly after 10am (ok, 10:16am to be exact) the court awarded us our two new kids!
There's a ten day waiting period for it to finalize so we'll keep on visiting the kids as we have before until that time runs it's course and they are forever ours. With the way the ten days runs its course with weekends, days that the government works (or doesn't) and Ukranian holidays, it'll be 3 weeks until wheels up for America. That's a bit longer than we were hoping for but at least it's not freezing like February, so we'll enjoy the ride and be home before we know it.
We are so thankful for all of the prayers and support given to our family in so many ways. It makes the journey a lot more fun and the challenges a lot smaller. Thank you!
Chris, Jodi, Bekah, Alyssa, Kayleigh, Dylan and Michael Tansey :)
