Court

On wed. our group will have finished our 15th day of bonding with the children. That means that on Thursday we will be able to apply for a court hearing to request to adopt the boys. We do not know when our court date will be but the Kazak law says that it could be up to 30 days from our request! Our coordinator (a lawyer here in Semey) does not believe it will take nearly that long but she did warn us! Eeek!

We will post when we know the court date. Most likely we will begin our return trip to the states within a day or two of our court date (assuming they grant us a decision at court – the usual situation).

1.I love what you did with the names. Very meaningful..
2.If they give you a decision in court, why do they then have to have a two week wait for"objections"?
3. The boys are probably sick, confused, and need to get home with their parents! They will "work the bugs out" during the adjustment period. Be ready!!!
Sounds like you're on a roller coaster ride! Love you, mema

How exciting that you get to request a court date soon. I am thrilled beyond belief for you too!

Wow! Court date coming! How exciting - hope it does not take too long for your sakes - agree with 'mema' everybody needs to get back here and settle in! Not that we are anxious to meet the boys or anything like that or that we miss you or anything like that!

Gus, I promise to go to the 7 Dwarves with you when I get home! We might have two crazy toddlers with us though!
