Just wanted to give everyone a quick update!
At this point we are just waiting for our court date. Last week we heard that we passed our Interpol check (SHOCKER!!!). This week we got confirmation that the ministry in Georgia has signed off on our case and it is now being transferred to the court system. We also learned that rather than our court case taking place in Tbilisi, we will travel to the regional court where Eliana’s foster family lives. I’m excited about this because it means we will be staying closer to her foster family. Instead of traveling over 100 miles every time we go see her before taking custody, we’ll be close by!
The always question--WHEN? We wish we knew. The call could come in the next couple of weeks...or it could be a month or longer. In the meantime...the lists are basically done! Which is both wonderful and also making me crazy. The nursery is done with the exception of minor details. It’s really weird to have girl stuff in the house after 7 years of only boy stuff! The extra bedroom has become the packing staging area where everything is being set aside to make packing quick and easy when the time comes. I’ve met with Matthew’s teacher to discuss his upcoming absence. Generous friends have given lots of girl clothes to fill the closet and dresser with 18-24 month clothing. We are sending a photo book and little stuffed elephant around the world for the foster family to use to prepare Eliana for our arrival. The more things we cross off the list, the more anxious I am to GOOO.
Patience. Will that lesson ever be learned???
The in-country liaison that works with our adoption agency will be delivering our documents to the regional court and the photo book and little stuffed animal to the foster family in the next week or so. We'll get the call sometime after that!
Stay tuned! It shouldn't be long!
