We’ve been having trouble getting access to the Internet, so we have posted two times today. We were able to get on for a little bit yesterday. I went into Word to type up our blog post. When I went to sign back onto the Internet, I got nothing! Anyway, go down to the previous post for information on yesterday.
Today started with Galina and Vala picking us up at 10:00 a.m. We went straight to the orphanage, so we could see our little girl. She has grown a little bit taller, has a little more hair, and has two bottom front teeth. They look so cute! She didn’t really want to show them to us, but we sneaked a couple of peeks anyways. We don’t really think that she remembered us, but she did really well. There were a couple of tears when someone that she knew would walk in and/or out of the room. We spent about an hour and a half with her. That’s about the longest visit that we’ve had!
Galina and Vala talked to us about what to expect at our court appointment tomorrow. We were back at the hotel by 12:00 noon. That left the rest of the day on our own. We read through our home study and other documents several times. We’ve drilled each other with questions. We’re going to go through everything one more time after we finish typing this. Then we’ve probably done all that we can to prepare.
We went for several walks today. First we walked to the mall. It’s not too far – about a fifteen minute walk. We did some window shopping. On the first floor, there is a market, so we bought a few groceries. Then we came back to the hotel and ate a little lunch. After lunch, we ventured out on another walk. We walked down one road that is by the hotel. There was absolutely nothing to see, so we turned around and came back. We walked to a church that is a couple of miles away. It is a beautiful, big church. I don’t really know the significance of it, but there are several pictures posted around town of the church. It’s a bit overcast today with a few sprinkles, but Greg took a few pictures of it anyway. We’ll probably head back over there on a nicer day. We walked back to the hotel, hoping that we would have an Internet connection, but no luck. We decided we might as well as go to dinner. We went to San Pizza (our old standby). We made it there by taxi, enjoyed pizza and dessert, and made it back to the hotel safely. We were pretty proud of ourselves!
That’s about it for today! Tomorrow is the big day. Please pray that we can answer the questions to meet the judge’s needs.
