- Complete Russian Court Hearing - Check! :-)

Phew!  We are through Russian court.  Overall everything went very well and smoothly... our session was 2 1/2 hours in length, but we were on the stand about 1 3/4h.  Most of the rest of the time was the formalities of the case ... going over the Dossier, going over the official adoption paperwork from orphanage.  Nonetheless, we are glad to have hurdle behind us... Leslie and I have both lost 10 pounds each and 10 years off of our lives from the stress and lack of appetite!  Don't worry we gained the weight back this evening when we treated ourselves to traditional Russian Carls, Jr again!  :-)  So, the good news it that we will back very soon to take custody!  Getting packed this evening!  See IL soon!
