It was a week ago today that we heard from the Judge that she was requesting the last of the documents. Four days later, all documents were in hand and FedEx'd to our Agency for receipt on Tuesday. That's almost record-breaking time...2 business days and received at the agency on the 3rd business day! Hey -- maybe I should make this dossier-preparation a new profession! Maybe not....
I received an e-mail from our Dossier Coordinator that everything was received and getting apostilled -- with the plan that all would be sent out Thursday (today!) via DHL for receipt in Russia by Monday the 30th.
So this is it, we hope! As soon as it is received in Ekaterinburg, our Russian coordinator will meet with the Judge, give her the paperwork and then set a date to appear in court. Court dates are on Wednesdays and Fridays so I'm thinking the earliest would be the week after Easter around the 15th or 17th....which would mean we'd be leaving between the 10th and 12th. Oh my God --- that is in two weeks!!!
Earlier this week, someone at work commented to me "You're so calm." And to a certain extent, I guess I am. Everyday I try to accomplish one thing but then at the end of the day, I realize I have a million things to do. Poor JD gets the brunt of my stress ~ as he relaxes in his "barker lounge chair." But overall, I think we're handling it the best we can. No sense in worrying over things we can't control!
Now I'm off to bed to dream of our little girl. I pass by her room each night and just can't wait to be able to peer in at her and watch her sleep. :)

Go Go Go DHL man! Go go!
Hoping for good news this week!
Go DHL! I am rooting for a speedy court date. Nothing like spending a holiday in a different country. I really hope it's soon.

How very exciting that it's so close to time to bring your daughter home. I bet just having her room to look at is comforting. My thoughts and prayers are with you guys.

Last night Nick woke me up from a dead sleep to get into bed with me. I was deeply annoyed, but he made it all up to me by holding my hand until he fell back asleep. I can't wait until you get to experience such intense mixed emotions!
Love,
