One Step Closer 10/4/2007
We just got good news! The letter they were waiting on in Vladivostok was received. This means our documents can be submitted next Tuesday to the courts, and our case will be assigned to a Judge and Prosecutor. Please pray for a favorable judge and prosecutor. We are very anxious to bring Sophie home!
Once the documents are submitted we wait for them to be reviewed and a preliminary court date will be set. I am cautiously optimistic that we might get to travel in November after all, though it might be late November.
Oh my goodness I will be praying for. So excited!!!
Wow! This is great news!! It seem (well, to me anyway) that things are moving along quickly for you.
I think we had the ‘mean’ judge in Vlad – at least what I gathered from other peoples opinions. I didn’t think she was so mean though. She was definitely not a warm fuzzy person – more like a popsicle; but she was not mean to us and she did not ask any unexpected or difficult questions. Her demeanor was just stern and serious. I have heard that it is the prosecutor that will be the difficult one. I actually thought the prosecutor was ‘warmer’ than the judge – but she too was very serious in her questioning. So, even if you get the hard judge don’t fret, it will be OK. Tanya will prepare you well for court.
How exciting!!! We’ll be praying!
Woo hoo! Great news!
