| We've got a Golden Ticket |
| Friday, November 16, 2007 |
Yes, it's true. We got a call today that our court date is in two weeks. Naturally we're not quite on the ground yet. But we were able to get some of the key things done today such as sending away for our visas as well as calling for flights.
Suffice to say that next week will indeed be a Thanksgiving for us.
And I hope that the good news for us will permeate throughout adoptionland and end the delays for the agencies waiting for accreditation. It's been a tough time the past couple of years for Russian adoptions but hopefully better times are ahead.
I have to give credit where credit is due. I...er...borrowed the Willie Wonka Golden Ticket idea from some other adoption friends who are currently in Kazakhstan (they just left this week) in the process of adopting their daughter. |

Congratulations! Another piece of great news in adoption land. You must be absolutely thrilled.
Do they waive the 10 days in your area? Will you wait it out in country if not or come home? Always curious to see how each adventure is a little different. Just think, you're almost a pappa now.

"The two greatest obstacles to democracy in the United States are, first, the widespread delusion among the poor that we have a democracy, and second, the chronic terror among the rich, lest we get it."
