Day Four of the Wait

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!!
