Court Date Update

We had our court date this afternoon. Much reading of documents. At one point, the judge pulled out one of the documents and set it aside. That did not look good. However, after reading all the documents out loud, the stray paper was put in the folder with everything else. After saying the right words, the judge and recorder stepped out to make the decision. We waited 5 minutes. The judge came back in, more reading of documents. And we were approved.

Congratulations on such a quick process! We have a preliminary hearing tomorrow morning and come back next week for final decision! I am staying the entire waiting period, but J and R are going home in 10 days. Still glad you are on the same journey we are! God Bless!

Congratulations. I think they like to scare us just for the fun of it. (Actually, I know they take it all very seriously)

I was hoping to see a note in your blog saying the 10 day wait was waived.

Hurry home. Hope the rest of the process goes smoothly for you and your kids!

Eileen and Rolan,

Congratulations on the successful court hearing! We are so happy there were no glitches with Tanya and her age!

Now the clock can start on your ten day wait and then downhill until you are home!

Enjoy all those snacks - big fish and all!

Stay warm, dry, and healthy!
