Well today we found out that our agency has a meeting with our judge in Vlad on 9-15-09. As far as we know we are the only WACAP case that this judge currently has so it must be about us!

Nothing New....

All of the paperwork the judge wanted updated has been submitted last week. The process of getting the documents created, Notarized, Apostiled and shipped to Russia takes 4-5 days. In addition documents can only be turned in to the court on Tuesdays. This all being the case each time a document is requested sets the process back at least one week if not two. We hope that this will be the week that we receive a court date and not a request for another document! Please keep your fingers crossed and send any extra prayers our way. We need to get back to the kids as they had expected us back in late July and now it looks like the middle of September at the earliest...

More setbacks.....

Well we found out today that the judge/prosecutor does not like the last page of our home study! Our agency is working on a new document today. Of course this causes another week's delay as documents can only be submitted to court on Tuesday's. Also it will take 3-5 days to get it apostilled, sent to Seattle then overnighted to Vladivostok. Hopefully it will get there in time to be submitted on the 25th....Looks like we are into September now before we will get back over there. Needless to say we are a bit upset and are sending the kids a message to let them know we will be even later...

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.
