Some news....

Well just after our last post we found out who our judge is...I wonder what kind of questions she might ask? Any one who can share what your judge asked we would love to hear from you via email......

"Any day now"

Well WACAP tells us that they expect to receive a court date for us "any day now". At this point we are not getting to excited about that. We are however gearing up for a possible last minute/short notice trip as we were informed that the Judge has 60 days from receipt of our file to hear our case. Our file was received by the court in early July....

Nothing New...

...Thats about all there is to say at this point. We have not heard from the agency in about a week and all they can tell us is that we are waiting on the judge to issue a court date. As far as we know there have been no more requests for documents. However, we have been told that the agency does not always find out if the court needs more documents from the MOE or the Detski Dom. Please keep your fingers (and toes) crossed for us and pray that we find out soon. Keeping them (and us) waiting is really getting old.

Still waiting..............

Well another week goes by (12 and counting). Still no court date! We did find out that the judge asked for some additional different paperwork from us. They got our State Police Clearance form and there was some sentence on it she didn't like. I guess it doesn't matter that we are not criminals or have any criminal record for that matter, but she did not like the wording of one sentence on the form. So we have to get new ones that are acceptable to the judge. They are supposed to be overnighted and then apostilled and in Russia by Monday for delivery to the court on Tuesday. I guess we wait from there.

Please say a few prayers for us! We can use all we can get!

We just want...............

A COURT DATE - IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?
PLEASE -- PRETTY PLEASE!!!!

It's a Girl!?

Well my little sister Sue and her husband Don had a little girl this week! Grace Josephine Chapman was born on July 19th. Girls are hard to come by in our family for some reason. We welcome little Grace as only the 2nd Neice. (There are a total of 7 nephews). Grace was born at Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland as Don is a Major in the Army stationed in DC. The whole Chapman family will be departing for Germany in Early September for their next assignment. Of course soon there will be 3 Neices and 8 Nephews! We have heard from the agency that the paperwork that the judge needed has been submitted and we expect to receive a date for court any day now. Keep your fingers crossed.....

Time table update

Well we had a call with WACAP last night and got some news. Due to a request by the judge we continue to wait for a court date. After hearing about the request we do understand that it is necessary. Of course this will however delay our trip for court. It is good to know however that the judge has at least reviewed our file and is working on our case. WACAP tells us that there is a good chance we will have a court date after this requirement is met and they expect it to be met on Tuesday (Russia). So keep checking the blog and we will of course publish any news we get. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.
