Oksana filed our papers with the court and found out who our judge would be the following day. She set up her meeting with the judge for Friday. The meeting went well and the judge seemed to be adoption friendly. Unfortunately, court is only held on Thursdays and she will be out of town the final Thursday of March. This is important for a couple reasons... first of which is that I am supposed to start work at my new Chick-fil-A restaurant on the 1st. Court will be on April 5th… Hummmmm?!?!
Fortunately for me, Chick-fil-A is adjusting my start date to 1 May. What a great company! At my final interview they stressed that my priorities were to be Faith, Family, and Chick-fil-A- in that order. They just don’t talk the talk, but walk the walk. Eat more chickin!
With 2 weeks until our court date, dad heads home to get some things take care of in the states. Lindsey has her prom and Kayla has a soccer tournament which I will get home in time to attend. Although mom would love to get home too, we are Toli’s only assurance that this process will get done. Lisa is his psychological anchor and he objects strongly to the thought of being left vithout his daily visit for 2 weeks. Our parents have been watching the kids while we are away and without whom this wouldn’t be possible. Adoption takes a lot of support to make happen. Friends, family and employers all help and sacrifice to make this happen and we are grateful!
