In Russia the court ruling does not take effect until 10 days after the decision.  So, I wait and wait and wait.  I had held out a slim hope that the doctor at the orphanage might let me keep Elle in hotel with me.  But yesterday she told us "no."  She is a really nice doctor, but it could cause them problems.  So, I wait and wait and wait.
My friend Krisi arrived yesterday.  That was a real treat.  I went with her and Oksana to get her permission to visit her daughter.  Then we had an adventure at the grocery store.  I know, don't envy me my adventures. 
It is currently 5AM and I have been awake since 3:30.  I figure I will finally adjust to the time just before the flight home.
Tomorrow Kristi will accompany Oksana and myself to see Elle, and I will go with them to visit her little girl.  It should be a nice change of pace. 
Elle is showing more and more of her personallity.  She can stand up by herself!!!  No support or help.  She gets soooooo tickled when I make a fuss.  She just grins from ear to ear and hugs me tight.  Then we start over!! 
More to come.  Keep those prayers coming!!
