Day 8 & 9 - More Paperwork

Just when you think you are finished with paperwork...wham. We have signed more things since being here, some in English, some in Russian. Al, our translator for the Baby House visits, is great. She really explains everything to us and the other couple. We had to stop by the court house on our way to drop off some of our paperwork. It is a tiny little building in a villiage or two before you get to Karakastek. By the way, we have a court date!! Time to get really nervous now. November 14th we will go infront of the judge and plead our case to adopt William and beg to see if our 15 day appeal period will be waived (which they say is highly unlikely in this region, but I guess it doesn't hurt to try). Did I mention we have two translators? One for here in Almaty, whom I love and is so sweet, An (just first letters) and then Al (just first letters) who takes us to the Baby House.

We feel like royalty sometimes lol. Two translators, two drivers and our coordinator who does all the running of our court stuff and passport stuff.

On to our pics of the days (hopefully...lol).

Can we say enough with yellow and red thing!!

Ok, I am stylin' now

Thank you for saving me from that outfit!
