Happy Adoption Day AJ!
Though not on the date we anticipated, as of 10:20 am. July 25, 2005 AJP is now officially our son.
The judge was very happy with the documents we provided (thanks to
K, our social worker, and our doctors back at home) and he
happily waived the 10 day appeal period. So…we pick up Sasha (AJ)
this afternoon and fly to Moscow tomorrow at 5!
This will be the last email until we arrive home to “hibernate” and
after this trip…WE NEED IT!
For those of you who have missed out on the drama…I will sum up.
Our initial flight was cancelled, but Delta switched us to
Northwest, our luggage arrived in Ark on Saturday, 5 days late, and
finally, the judge denied our adoption on Friday and requested more
papers from our doctors back at home. Oh…and our driver got a
ticket about 5 miles from the airport. (sound familiar?)
We are hoping for a LESS eventful downside to our trip, but with a
two year old who does not speak English, we are not counting on it.
The picture attached was taken just before we left to go have his
passport picture taken. It was pouring outside and he wanted to go
jump in the puddles outside. I thought it was gorgeous, perhaps
symbolic of him leaving. When God closes one door, he always opens
another…in this case, perhaps a window. (It became his announcement picture).
Enjoy the start of your week and keep the prayers coming please.
With love,
Marcie, Eric, and Sasha (AJ)
