Day 5

Sorry in advance this is going to be brief.  I'm really not feeling well and just don't have the energy to write this but have to give you all an update it's only right.


So both visits went well (not much to discuss)  I did find when Sophia is tired she makes sound/motion with her mouth.  It's like when you are trying to think of what sounds good to eat (make sense?) Anyway it is what she does  I almost rocked her to sleep.  key word almost LOL.


I met with the Notary today.  The notaries in Russia actually notarize the document that it is accurate etc.  It was quite formal.  There were some corrections that needed to be made so the price was higher than expected luckily I had it.  Oh I took the opportunity to show off a picture taken today of Sophia and I.  Want to see....No....too bad LOL  Here it is 

I also met the Judge today she is kind but very strict and by the book which is good for the children I think.  She is the only judge who does adoptions in this region.  She takes it upon herself to visit the orphanage and knows the children.  She knew my Sophia.


Thank you for the prayers.  She did ask for 3 additional documents two of which my facilitators assumed she would ask me for and prepared me for those they are easy enough.  The third one might be a tough one but I'm sure God will help me.  I also am sure He will help me with the funds I will need to raise.  This trip pretty much wiped me out of funds. 


My court dates are August 8-9 yep two days scheduled.  So about a month and a 1/2!
