We received word that the meeting between the two Russian agencies was successful and we are requested to be in Russia on June 27 for a week of visitation! Thanks for all the prayers.
Probable Timeline-At the end of that visit (showing our full understand of Anya's condition), a request for two items will be submitted. The first is for a federal record of Anya's availability (this is usually only regional) and the second is for a court date, based on the judge's schedule. It may end up being August, or if vacations interfere, September before we go back to Russia for our court date. Of course I want it to be sooner!
Dave and I will fly in for the court date, for two days and then, with
Anya officially being ours, Dave will fly home to go back to work. I will stay abroad for the eleven day waiting period, instead of flying home and going back for a third trip. Then, Anya and I will leave her region to go to Moscow for several days. We will have to get her a passport, a medical exam and several other things. After that, she and her new mama fly home on the 13 hour flight (IF we get one without layovers!). Should be interesting since she probably has never left the grounds of her orphanages. Certainly an adventure at the very least!!
